High Point Monument is definitely a must-visit spot in north Jersey that is close to the NY border. As you approach this monument, there's a toll booth that charges $10 for NJ residents and $20 for out of state residents. It's cheaper to visit during the week if you're able to swing out that far M-F. As the highest point in NJ and part of the Appalachian Trail, it's definitely worth coming up to the top and take in miles and miles of truly beautiful views. The monument itself was built to honor all New Jersey war veterans (past, present, and future), and is an overall lovely. I'm not sure if you can actually go inside the monument, but just taking the time to take it in, is enjoyable enough in itself, IMO. Nearby the monument, there's a rest area and little picnic tables and another scenic overview as well. There are also some hiking trails, more campsites, and a little beach too. There's plenty to do around here and definitely worth a day trip if you're passing through or looking for something to do on a nice day.

Beautiful state park with a lot of gorgeous views. A few hikes to choose, short and long, through different scenery. We did monument trail followed by purple trail through the bog. It was worth the drive!

It's located in the upper northern area of New Jersey and is part of the Appalachian Mountain chain. Part of the 2100 mile and 14 state Appalachian Trail runs through the park. At 1803 feet, it has the highest Atlantic white cedar swamp population in the world. It is also the highest point in New Jersey at 1803 feet above sea level. From the top of the monument which was built by the Kusers to honor all of New Jersey's war veterans, you can see the Pocono Plateau (Pa.), Port Jervis (NY), Catskill foothills (NY) and Sussex farmlands (NJ). IFrom Memorial day to Labor Day the cost is $10 per vehicle during the week and $20 on the weekends and holidays. After Labor Day and before Memorial Day it is free. The monument has been refurbished relatively recently. . The spiral staircase is physically challenging and if you fear heights it could be a problem. The stairs can be damp if not outright wet. Cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling are available through a private contractor. Some people dog sled. There are 10 miles of trails. Ice fishing and other types of fishing require a NJ license as does hunting for deer and bear. Hunting is done in limited areas of the park. Boating on lakes Sawmill and Steenykill requires an electric motor or the old fashion paddle. Lake Marcia has lifeguards, great restrooms and changing facilities. There are camp areas, picnic BBQ grills at the park headquarters and an Interpretive center with displays. Get a map because the trails can be tricky, Some people horseback ride. Bring Deep Woods Off there are ticks. And do not bring alcohol, it is prohibited. There are concession stands open during the season and restaurants on Route 23, Port Jervis, etc..
