The Magnificent Overlook In New Jersey That’s Worthy Of A Little Adventure

Sometimes, we all need a little nature adventure. Luckily, New Jersey provides plenty of opportunities for that: Just check out all the amazing hiking the state has to offer. One such adventure is Wyanokie High Point, accessed via Highlands and Wyanokie Crest Trail. It is a long trail and it can be difficult at points but it also has an amazingly beautiful overlook with a view you won’t forget — and the hike there is pretty darn nice, too. It’s a loop trail, so you’ll see something new during every part of the experience.

Wyanokie High Point offers such a stunning view. Look at the winding river and all the trees!

The hike is rated as "moderate" on AllTrails and does feature 1,827 feet-elevation gain, so be prepared to huff and puff a little to get to the view.

Once you reach it, though, you'll feel totally rewarded. It's one of the best views of New Jersey you can get!

The hike is a long one (close to nine miles) but the hike is so pretty in general you won't mind.

You might be so distracted, you don't even notice how out of breath you are!
Plus, these woods are gorgeous no matter the season.

In the winter you have snow and ice to admire, in the fall there's the colorful explosion of changing leaves, in the summer it's lush greenery...
And really again — it's all worth it for the view. We can't overstate how lovely it is!

Good news, too — the trail is accessible all year round. And your furry friends are totally welcome: Just make sure to keep them on a leash, per the trail’s rules.
