Jakes Branch County Park offers hikers a journey through history, tracing back to the Lenni Lenape Indians who first inhabited the area. North of the park, artifacts from a large Lenape village were discovered along the Toms River. In 1761, Jacob Jacobs, a colonial settler, established a sawmill on a nearby tributary. Originally called Jacob’s Branch, the name was later shortened to Jakes Branch. Today, this historic stream runs along the park’s northern edge, providing a picturesque and historically rich hiking experience.
