Double Trouble Village: Cranberry History in Ocean County
Double Trouble Village preserves a Pinelands company-town landscape shaped by lumber, cranberry farming and the waterways that powered both. The historic village sits within Double Trouble State Park near Bayville. The grounds can be explored during park hours, while building tours and programs depend on a separate schedule.

A working Pinelands landscape
The New Jersey state park describes a surviving sawmill, cranberry packing house and other village buildings. The setting helps explain how forest, water control and agriculture were linked in this part of Ocean County.
What to see on foot
Start with the village buildings, then use the marked paths for a view of the cranberry bog and forest setting. Interpretive signs help, but a guided tour adds access and context when available. Do not assume that historic structures are open to enter on an ordinary park visit.
