Description:
Historic Smithville is listed on the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places. From its beginnings as a small mill town on the Rancocas Creek, Smithville became one of New Jersey's major woodworking industrial areas between the 1860s and 1920s.

The park features many cultural landmarks and natural habitats, including an historic district and museum, as well as five different hike and bike trails of different lengths. Though equestrians and mountain bikers are welcome, some trails are for walking only and signs are posted. The trails pass among a variety of terrain, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are winter options. The park is home to lots of wildlife, including deer, turkey, fox, beaver and waterfowl.

The park offers fishing, canoeing, picnicking, playgrounds and a butterfly garden. Historic Smithville Park is open daily from 8 a.m. to dusk.
