Wyanokie High Point Is Good New Jersey Hike With Pretty Overlook

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!

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.
