Allaire State Park is best known for its restored village and weekend events. But there are miles of hiking trails for the outdoor enthusiast. The longest is 16.5 miles and is a multiuse trail. Located along the Atlantic Flyway path, this park not only has a large year round bird population, it also hosts migratory birds. This northern pinelands bisected by the Manasquan river area has many species of flora not usually found in this area.
The Nature Interpretive Center is currently closed. Fees are only charged on weekends: Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Many types of overnight structures are provided for overnight guests including: campsites, yurts, and cabins.
Sorry the video is only of the railway, found some others but they are definately Halloweenish.
