Open Year-Round
Entry Fee Charged
At 1,803 feet above sea level, High Point is New Jersey's tallest mountain and the namesake of this 15,827-acre state park. The park covers the crest of the Kittatinny Mountains, spanning eight miles from the New York line to Stokes State Forest. There is a 220-foot monument at the summit. From the summit, visitors can see dozens of miles in any direction, from the Catskills to the Delaware Water Gap. The summit can be reached by auto. Water recreation is popular at High Point. Lake Marcia is a 20-acre spring-fed lake with a swimming beach. Sawmill and Steenykill lakes have boat launches, but gas engines are barred. Bass, catfish and stocked trout lure anglers. The regional Shawangunk Ridge Trail and the Appalachian Trail pass through the park. The Appalachian Trail enters from Stokes State Forest and offers hikers excellent views of rural New Jersey from the ridgeline. An additional 14 miles of mixed-use trails weave through the park. A self-guided nature trail runs through the 800-acre Dryden Kuser Natural Area, notable for having the highest-elevation Atlantic white cedar swamp in the world. Park wildlife includes deer, black bears, bobcats and foxes. In the snowy season, a concessionaire runs a cross-country ski operation, and visitors also travel by snowshoe, dogsled and snowmobile in the park. Fifty rustic, walk-in campsites sit along Sawmill Lake and two family cabins and a group cabin are available for rent. There is also a group campsite. A park entrance fee is charged from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day only.
