High Point State Park

Search Sussex New Jersey

The view from High Point Monument, at 1,803 feet above sea level, is a spectacular panorama of rich farmland and forest, soft hills, and lush valleys in three states. The blue line of the Delaware River divides the ridges of New Jersey from those of Pennsylvania.

High Point offers superb trails for hikers and skiers, and quiet spots for campers and anglers. The land for High Point State Park, donated by Colonel Anthony R. and Susie Dryden Kuser, was dedicated as a park in 1923. The landscaping was designed by the Olmsted Brothers of Boston, a prominent landscape architectural firm of that time. The brothers were the sons of the eminent Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park in New York City.

The park is located near the most northerly point in New Jersey, south of I-84 across the stateline.
