Cheesequake State Park
}}
Cheesequake State Park (Lenape: Chiskhakink ) is a state park located in Old Bridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey in the United States.
The New Jersey Legislature allocated $100,000 in 1937 to purchase property for this state park. The state first acquired a 250 acre tract of farmland and a Civil War era mansion from the Favier brothers in January 1938. Additional lands were acquired over the next two years, and the Civil Conservation Corps, part of the Works Progress Administration, helped develop the property. The park was opened in June 1940.〔("A Century of Forest Stewardship in New Jersey, 1905 - 2005," by Kevin Wright, p 52, 2005 ), accessed 31 December 2010〕

The name Cheesequake was derived from the Lenape Native American word ''Cheseh-oh-ke'', meaning "upland"〔(CHEESEQUAKE STATE PARK ), accessed November 17, 2006〕 or "upland village".〔(Cheesequake State Park: Cheesequake Cedar Swamp ), accessed November 17, 2006〕
==Geography, flora, and fauna==
The park's lowlands consist of freshwater and saltwater marsh and a tidal estuary near the mouth of Cheesequake Creek on the Raritan Bay. It also includes hills of Northeastern hardwood forest, open fields, and a white cedarswamp. It includes a small parcel of Atlantic coastal pine barrens, consisting of pine forest in sandy soil, an isolated section of the much larger New Jersey Pine Barrens. It also includes the Hooks Creek Lake, a freshwater lake where recreational fishing includes catches of trout, largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish. Crabbing is also available at the park.
