Stokes State Forest

Memorial cross in the snow — This little memorial sits along the Big Flatbrook near the Steam Mill campground and simply says, “Pops.”

The landscape of Stokes State Forest, a New Jersey park that spans several towns, has been shaped by various glacial periods for over one million years. Most recently, the Wisconsin Glacier covered Stokes with a half mile of ice, less than 20,000 years ago! Its weight and friction scraped and scoured the area, creating the geologic land forms you see today. Click HERE for more info.
