Yogi Bear`s New Jersey Cabin Resort

In 1934, the City found itself in possession of a small herd of deer which the citizens thought should be exhibited.  With this, the Cohanzick Zoo began.  The zoo was named for the band of Lenape Indians who resided in Bridgeton alongside the river - as a result, they became known as the Cohanzick Indians.  Today, the Cohansey River peacefully flows through the park adding a unique natural setting.  It is a great place to visit all year 'round. The Cohanzick Zoo is New Jersey's first zoo, and a division of the Department of Recreation and Public Affairs.
