August 6 - 13
The sultry days of mid to late summer are long and lazy. Busy, demanding days are not far ahead; so spend some quality time finding out the best ways to do nothing but relax.
Happy Feet
If you can't sit still, the confluence of water and earth at the Delaware Water Gap promises hikers a bounty of blissful steps through exquisite terrain. The famous notch that characterizes Warren County's western skyline is where the Kittatinny Mountains have given way to eons of gentle persuasion by the Delaware River, creating one of the most majestic of New Jersey's natural features between Mount Tammany and Mount Minsi in Pennsylvania.
On The Banks Of The Wild Six
When the Jersey sky hangs white in summer haze, head to the woods at Six Mile Run in Franklin Township, Somerset County. The 3,037-acre property takes off from the Millstone River and winds its way through forest, a myriad of trails and habitats alongside this quiet stream are made for easy—long or short—relaxing walks.
Three Hundred Years of Solitude
The Solitude House stands as a testament to our collective history as a new nation, as well as testament to all those who persevered in the face of overwhelming odds to succeed.
The sign, “Settled in 1700”, which welcomes those who pass through High Bridge, implies a long abiding heritage: a story of the longest continually operating iron and steel company in United States and the workers who helped shape our country's history and destiny. Read about the Union Forge and walk the Taylor Steelworkers Historic Greenway...
Lunkers Alive!
Many of our rivers and streams, seasonally stocked with trout, also support year-round resident populations of smallmouth bass. The Paulinskill, Flatbrook Wallkill, Pequest, Musconetcong, and others are all destinations for smallmouth fishers. Fly fishing for bass in the summer is a great way to get on the water when it gets too hot for trout. Watching a bass explode on your popper is one of the most exhilarating feelings in freshwater fly fishing.
Easy Living
Kymer's Camping Resort offers park model, cabin and luxury tent rentals as well as trailer or tent campsites with water, electric and cable TV hookups and an Olympic-size swimming pool on two-hundred scenic acres located in Sussex County near the Kittatinny Mountains, at
69 Kymer Road in Branchville.
