About Jacques Cartier State Park
Named for the French explorer who navigated the St. Lawrence River in the 1530s, this 461-acre park sits along the river's south bank in the Town of Morristown. The land protects a stretch of shoreline tied to that early exploration history. Its size gives visitors a substantial riverside area to take in, with the St. Lawrence itself as the defining geographic feature bordering the property.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
