Originally a cranberry farm and packing plant, the former company town called Double Trouble is a window into the past and current industries in the Pinelands. The Double Trouble Company was formed to sell timber, mllwork products and cranberries. A succession of sawmills has been on site since the mid-1700's.

Cedar Creek
The park features over 5,000 acres of Pine Barrens habitats. Cedar Creek, which runs through Double Trouble, provides teh water required for cranberry culture and supplies a pure source of water for wildlife. the creek is an excellent stream for canoeing and for catching glimpses of otters, beavers, bluebirds and deer. Adjacent bogs and uplands provide examples of Pine Barrens plants.

Double Trouble Village
The village consists of active cranberry bogs leased to the New Jersey Devil Cranberry Company. Fourteen original historic structures dating from the late 19th century through the early 20th century include a general store, a schoolhouse and cottages. The sawmill was restored in 1995; the cranberry sorting and packing house in 1996.
