Norvin Green State Forest

I know this place can get real busy, but I went on a weekday during the winter and had the whole place to myself. Excellent hike, with a really good trail network. The views from the different lookouts of the surrounding area and the NYC skyline were amazing. The different forests and landscapes are excellent!

One of the best hiking spots in NJ. I highly recommend the Cairn Hill, High Point, Buck loop. Trails are well maintained with more rugged hiking than usually expected in NJ.

My favorite place to hike can be challenging. The local authorities would like people to be prepared and bring a trail map!!! Very important

Huge area with many trails.Take Blue trail to Wyanokie High Point where you have a 360 degree scenic view. You can have a commanding views of Wanaque Reservoir and Watchung Mountains. On a clear day you can see Manhattan skyline. The best parking lot for this trail is at the New Weis Center for Education off Snake Den Road. At a corner of the parking lot, take Green trail passing Highlands Natural Pool to a kiosk where you can have a trail map. From here take Blue trail to High Point. On the way you may stop by three scenic lookouts.
