Jenny Jump in Spring
We needed a moderate-yet-pretty trail to do with some friends who were getting back into hiking shape, so we headed over to Jenny Jump.
Trail Blogs
Trail Blogs are casual posts about a particular hike, sometimes with a seasonal focus. They don’t contain the detailed step-by-step instructions and information that our hike guides feature.
For example – the hike guide for Mt. Tammany has detailed instructions but also links to the multiple Trail Blogs about our various hikes up Mt. Tammany over the years (i.e. “Mt. Tammany and Sunfish Pond in the Fall“).
Dunnfield Creek – Sunfish Pond – AT
One of our all-time faves, Dunnfield Creek trail to Sunfish Pond, around the pond, then return via the Appalachian Trail.
Millbrook and Van Campens Glen in Spring
Get a peek at the Delaware River from atop a bluff, walk past houses abandoned because of the Tocks Island Dam project, and take a brief side trail to tiny DePue Cemetery.
Tillman Ravine and Walpack Cemetery in May
Tillman Ravine is a gorgeous short hike with a rushing stream and multiple water cascades.
Stephens State Park – White Loop and Fire Tower
Decided to check out Stephens State Park once we stumbled on a trail map that showed the potential for long loops here.
Butler Reservoir and Pyramid Mountain Natural Area
First time hiking around Butler (Kakeout) Reservoir.
Turkey Swamp – Metedeconk to Manasquan in March
We tried this loop in early February but the slushy snow caused us to cut things short.
John A. Phillips Preserve in February
Small county park located in Old Bridge, NJ with a very nice trail system tucked away behind a ball field.
Double Trouble State Park – Cranberry Bogs and Sand Roads
With a name like “Double Trouble”, how can you not check out this park?
Jakes Branch – Pine Barrens Panoramic View
Easy trail through New Jersey’s Pine Barrens with a great view from the visitor center observation deck.
