It is a good park to go in autumn. The promenade is good, too, and the view is really good.

It’s true primitive camping

Carry in , carry out primitive campsites and adorable cabin camping. Stayed here many times throughout my life so far and it's more like home than camping. I wouldn't recommend the hike in campsites unless you love hauling heavy stuff up a rocky trail (Think of lugging lots of firewood specifically. That was awful. But also secluded) Campsites have a fire ring, picnic table, and tall metal pole with hook for hanging a lantern? Water container? Garbage bag? Whatever its true purpose is we always find a use for it. Down side of campsites is most of them are sandy clay dirt and it gets dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Cabins are quite adorable with double bunk beds and table and bench inside. Woodstove for warmth and enough room to throw an air mattress on the floor if you move the table against the wall. They also have porches so you can sit outside even if the weather's bad. Highly recommend!

Questions & Answers

Anyone know where to go to see the Northern Lights supposedly visible tonight 3/23/19. We are from So. Jersey and have driven up past Clinton and now heading to Hope with lots of hope to see the Northern Lights. 😃

All the articles i read said to get to highest location so you can see the northern horizon (viewing to the north) and away from town lights. Not much in this area that has Views to the North unfortunately. Only place i was thinking of is the Allamuchy rest stop on 80E just past exit 19. That rest stop views to the west so... look to your right (north). Hope you see the northern lights tonight!!!

Old Native American story about how a girl was forced to jump from the top of Jenny Jump mountain. It's why there are names like Ghost Lake and Shades of death rd.

Local legend has it that Jenny was on the run from native Americans and she was led to a very high cliff. Those with her urged Jenny to jump. No one saw Jenny again. I was once led to the very cliff and saw how this was plausible. Nice view
