Lacey Township is a boater's and angler's paradise, encompassing the communities of Forked River and Lanoka Harbor on the western shores of Barnegat Bay. With numerous full-service marinas offering access to some of the best fishing on the Jersey Shore, Lacey is where serious anglers come to pursue the "Grand Slam" - landing Weakfish, Stripers, Fluke, and Bluefish in a single day.
The Forked River and Lanoka Harbor marina district features facilities like Silver Cloud Harbor Marina, Lanoka Harbor Marina, and the Forked River State Marina. Slips range from $1,850 to $4,250 per season, with most marinas offering 24/7 fuel docks, bait shops, and boat services.
Beyond the water, Lacey is home to Double Trouble State Park, a hidden gem featuring a restored 19th-century cranberry farming village and miles of trails through pristine Pine Barrens wilderness. Cedar Creek flows through the park, offering excellent kayaking and canoeing opportunities through tea-colored waters lined with Atlantic white cedars.
