New Jersey has so many beautiful forests to explore. And what better way to get out there and experience that nature than going for a hike?
One of our favorite hikes in New Jersey is a five-mile trek through Norvin Green State Forest. It’s such an enchanting trail, with great views and even a waterfall.
The Highlands, Posts Brook, Carris Hill and Wyanokie Loop is a five-mile loop trail in Norvin Green State Forest.
Von Bartz/AllTrails On this beautiful trail, you wander through a lush and stunning forest.
You’ll come across a nice little river and maybe some wildlife as you hike up the trail.
Xiaofeng Wang/AllTrails Make sure to keep your eyes open, though. The trail can get quite rocky.
One of the nicest parts about this trail is all the shade. Even when it gets hot, the forest provides a canopy of leaves.
Von Bartz/AllTrails Of course, all that forest can get quite buggy. Bring spray!
The hike is classified as “moderate” and it does have steep elevation gains.
Jennifer Vance/AllTrails You’ll gain 958 ft elevation when you hike up this trail.
Of course, all that elevation gain leads to an amazing view.
Richard Bach/AllTrails It’s so rewarding to reach the top and see that view! You can even see the New York City skyline sometimes up there!
Another great feature? The amazing waterfall you witness on the way.
Mark OBrien/AllTrails It just takes your breath away.
Who doesn’t love a waterfall? It just adds something special to the trail.
