High Point State Park

High Point State Park stretches across 16,000 acres of land at New Jersey's highest elevation of 1,803 feet, featuring forests, lakes, and mountain ridges.

Colonel Anthony R. and Susie Dryden Kuser donated the land in 1923, establishing New Jersey's first state park with a monument completed in 1930.

The Civilian Conservation Corps developed trails and facilities during the 1930s, creating a recreational space that connects three states through panoramic views.

The park operates daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering 50 camping sites near Sawmill Lake and multiple trails for hiking, skiing, and horseback riding.

The Dryden Kuser Natural Area within the park contains the highest elevation cedar swamp globally, supporting distinct flora and fauna populations.
