I was told the lease to the indians was not renewed by the state, that the park was no longer a reservation. The last time I hiked there was in the fall, and evidence of the reservation was still present. I should be hiking there again in a few weeks and will take some pictures.

This was back when the house was not being used. The roof was green and full of droppings and it was summer and the woods were not cleared as they seem to be now. I was following my friends who were from Moorestown, so they knew where we were going. I had no idea where I was at the time.
thanks for your reply sorry for not helping with the picture problem I forgot about this page.
really? I came idr where exactly I came in but it was this big wood block that blocked the entrance so cars cant come in that's all I remember about the entrance if it even was an entrance but it seemed like it took us 10 minutes to walk in the woods to find the house. my friend that been there before showed us the way so I don't know exact directions but I was wondering why its there and who owned it and so on. I'm a paranormal investigator and I wanted to know some information on this house because I cant find anything about it. if you know anything can you please inbox me anything you know. thank you have a nice day.
This was occupied by a man named Mr. Wilky, who was hired to watch over the park, but he stopped doing his job and was asked to leave. The county parks have stated plans to turn it into a ranger station, but it has been years. I live right down the road, which is why I know about the house and found out when he had left.

This is the story I have been told as well. It is true, i remember seeing him driving in and out of the park and when my father told me why he wasnt living there anymore
Bringing back this thread from 2013. I finially was able to get to the house I first stumbled on back in 1973 when walking with my friends from Moorestown. Looks like nothing is untouched by spray paint. The place is much more open and not as isolated and remote as it was back then when the house was fully intact and locked up. I wish I had a camera with me back then but never expected to see this house.
This is my sons favorite hike that is not in the mountains of NJ. We usually go every couple of years. We always called it the cabin. When we first went the house was damaged put not tagged up. Each time we go it is worse. Teegates recent pictures, saddens me to see what it looks like now. I do not understand why people see certain things and are bent on destroying it. I personally think it is great to find these old houses and sites to explore and wonder who lived there. Not burn it down.
That place was muddy as hell when I went and all kinds of people were heading to that house. Family's outings were in full force. It is a great place to visit but I will go again very early with Jessica to beat the crowd.
