    Double Trouble State Park - Ocean County

    Double Trouble State Park is located in Ocean County. The Park has a 1.5 mile looping nature trail. A large mystery surrounds this park; fully grown pine trees lay on the ground in a circle, showing no damage to the trees or the ground, which leaves observers to speculate that it could not have been a meteor or tornado. Some say a UFO landed here and left the area haunted because technology goes haywire only around the curious site.
