Get Lost!

Enticing trails surround Crater Lake atop the Kittatinny Ridge.
Indian Summer is sweet and short. Chilly days and barren limbs are not far ahead, so get out your walking stick and hit the road, lined with good things to do and colorful panoramas for leaf peepers. Pick from a multitude of scenic tours and daytrips and watch out for our virtual efforts to keep you informed.

Big Skylands Country

Merrill Creek Reservoir
Warren County's Scott's Mountain is known locally as Montana Mountain, named for the small hamlet that sits on its scenic plateau. Nearby Merrill Creek Reservoir, with its vast open waters and network of wooded trails, is deserving of any excursion up the mountain. The trip back down into and through the Pohatcong Valley is equally rewarding for students of history and devotees of the outdoors.

Blueberry Hill

Find your thrill walking the Monument Trail in High Point State Park. The path along the forested mountain top at the top of New Jersey at 1,800 feet offers palettes of color and texture that only the shallow-soil ridges of High Point can. Let the stillness and quiet of this blueberry-clad mountain top forest on ancient rock fire your imagination!

Jersey Lightning

The restored Nesbitt's Mill in Mendham.
By the time the mill at Ralston squeezed its first drop of cider, the brandy industry in New Jersey was more than 130 years old, having begun in Morris County in 1773. Of all the cider mills in New Jersey, Nesbitt's is the only survivor. This Saturday (Oct. 25) is Annual Pressing Day at the mill.

Fare To Midlands

Part of the former the Kuser Estate on top of Bald Pate Mountain.
Just a few miles south of Lambertville lies an area ripe for weekend adventure and exploration. At Bald Pate Mountain, components of local, national, and natural history are well represented, as well as brilliant prospects for craft seekers, hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, and picnickers. To get there, head south from Lambertville on Route 29, enjoying glimpses of the Delaware & Raritan Canal feeder and the Delaware River along the way.
