Very seriously. This is apparently a town, a state park, and a rest stop on the garden state parkway. Despite desperate attempts last weekend, I couldn't find my way from the highway to the state park and wound up in horrendous traffic. The silver lining is that it prompted me to actually buy a map.
According to Wikipedia, this word comes from a Lenape Native American word for 'upland' or 'upland village.' But I'd rather picture Cheesquake State Park as a place where they pass out cheesecake at the entrance. Or where there is cottage cheese rustling nervously in the breeze.

Yep. Kad's right. And it isn't the strangest name in New Jersey, either!
Cheesequake. It fears you.

Then again, I really shouldn't talk, coming from a state with town names like Blue Ball, Intercourse, and Climax....
