Fire restrictions

This unit's own agency alerts list no fire restriction as of Oct. 5, 2026. We do not check a statewide fire-order feed for NJ, so that is not a statement that no order exists, and not a green light for a fire. Check with the land manager and your county before you light anything.

Fees, passes, and hours

Entrance costs $15 per person on foot or bicycle. An annual pass for Thomas Edison National Historical Park costs $45. Interagency (America the Beautiful) passes are accepted. The park takes no cash: pay by card or buy a pass online.
