Skylands Region

Come to where New Jersey touches the clouds. As home to High Point State Park—our tallest natural peak—it’s little wonder this region is known as the New Jersey Skylands. Travel over the hills and through the woods to make your escape into the timbered and rugged terrain that includes our slice of the Appalachian Trail.
