Review:
Allaire State Park is a charming state park located throughout Monmouth County near the borough of Farmingdale, located within the gorgeous New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route.
The park is best known for its Allaire Village, a restored 19th-century-era ironworks site which is named in honor of Howell Works founder James P. Allaire.
Visitors can explore the preserved historic buildings of the ironworks, including its blacksmith shop, foreman's home, church, and general store.
The park's Pine Creek Railroad operates excursion railroad outings throughout the year, overseen by the New Jersey Museum of Transportation.
Fishing is permitted along the Manasquan River, while biking is allowed on the Edgar Felix Bikeway. Other attractions throughout the park include day-use picnic sites, tent and trailer campsites, and the Nature Interpretive Center, which offers nature-related exhibits and guided excursion programming.
