Summer, 2024

Warm greetings and best wishes for a season marked by renewed health and sanity. Join us in our continued exploration among the hills and valleys of Northwest New Jersey. We hope you keep the personality of the New Jersey Skylands near and dear when you need to freshen your horizon!

Here are some highlights from the region's calendar of events, along with some other suggestions for you and your family.

July 18 - 25

Scenes You Should Make

Some 2,000 acres of forests and fields at Merrill Creek Reservoir provide the opportunity for nature study and hiking, while the lake, with more than five miles of shoreline, lends itself to fishing and boating.
Long lazy days of summer seem like they'll last forever. Don't be fooled, make a splash while you can! Find a way by checking our Day Trip Map for good ideas for a scenic drive! For the more aerobically inclined, the Outdoor Map shows the way to go, or choose among dozens of natural attractions or outdoor activities suggested on our website. Choose your own adventure!

Paradise Lost, And Found

A mile-and-a-half north of Millbrook Village in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, you can turn off Old Mine Road and head straight uphill towards the top of the Kittatinny Ridge. Just below the ridge are a series of small lakes that define a haven for those looking for a place to get lost wandering through mountainside forest full of wildlife and open meadows surrounding crystal clear waters. But, the pristine aura at Blue Mountain Lakes yields scant evidence of the ambitious development for which it was created. More...

Rock A Bye Baby

The Rockaway Valley Railroad was about 25 miles long and lasted for about 25 years. It was constructed primarily to ship peaches, and although it also saw other freight and passenger traffic, Hunterdon County orchard owners were responsible for the railroad's commencement in 1888. Record peach crops kept the railroad afloat in the 1890s, even as the financial picture for the company clouded. Unfortunately, before the little railroad had an opportunity to turn a profit, the peaches were infected with blight, and the Hunterdon orchards passed their prime. The Little Railroad That Couldn't lives on, if only for hikers, cyclists and patrons of local lore. Take a walk and imagine the slow moving locomotive rocking back and forth on its way through the countryside.

The Hills of Ramapo

The area now called Hewitt was once the Long Pond Ironworks, where men took iron ore from the Ramapo hills, burned and extracted it into pig iron and forged it into wrought. Farms and schools and whole support systems sprung up around the ironworks village to maintain this rugged venture. Thanks to the Friends of Long Pond Ironworks, it remains a beautiful place to visit – a serene one-hundred-year-old forest now replenished, breathing the enterprise of our past. The Museum and Visitor Center are open Friday - Sunday, and group tours can be arranged.

Must be the Moonglow

Craters of the moon, photographed from 238,855 miles away at the UACNJ site in Jenny Jump State Forest by Wolfgang Damm, NWJAA.
What better occupation on a serene summer evening than to gaze at the moon and stars? The United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey (UACNJ) facilities in Jenny Jump State Forest, near Hope in Warren County, are 1,100 feet above sea level, one of the few dark sky locations left in the state. On Saturday evenings the facility offers series of program presentations. Audience size is limited and reservations are advisable.
And at Voorhees State Park in Glen Gardner, the New Jersey Astronomical Association has installed a 26-inch Newtonian reflector telescope, one of the largest privately owned telescopes in New Jersey. There's Saturday night stargazing from 8:30-10:30pm and Sunday afternoon solar viewing, 2-5pm.

Jersey Gypsy Magic

Gitan Magique performs unique arrangements of well known jazz and classical repertoire as well as engaging original works.
This Sunday (July 21), Gitan Magique, steeped in the 1930s French jazz of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grapelli, performs Bobolink Dairy and Bakehouse, where they produce grass-fed beef and make artisanal cheeses and wood fired breads. Attendance is limited, so please make your reservations on-line. Cheese plates, 100% grass-fed burgers, and other goodies will be available for purchase. Bring blankets, lawn chairs, and umbrellas. Family friendly, BYOB. No dogs please. The music begins at 4, food service is from 3-6. $15. 369 Stamets Rd, Milford (Hunterdon County), 908/86GRASS.

Hot Stuff

Save on advance tickets to the Warren County Farmers' Fair, July 27-August3. It's a Family Tradition!


Infectious rhythms, vibrant instrumentation, and improvisational spirit will fill the air at the July 20 Ramsaysburg Summer Concerts with LaCuchina!! performing in the bucolic Riverside Amphitheater along the Delaware River, part of the twelve-acre historical park in Knowlton NJ.

July 11 - 18

Temperature's rising, but don't let it slow you down! Take advantage of a calendar sizzling with intriguing things for you and your family to enjoy. Art, music, crafts, high country, and cool, clear evenings. What more could you ask for on a mid-summer weekend? Don't wait; the summer days are melting away!

Flying jewels they are sometimes called. Butterflies come in many sizes and colors, from delicately small and hard to spot, to Monarch orange and yellow bouncing about the garden for all to see. Once the weather starts to warm up and nectar plants begin to bloom, butterflies become more and more evident from woodlands to back-yard flower gardens.

Beat the heat with a paddle!

The beach on Woodcock Bar looking up river to Labar Island is perfect for a picnic.
The main stem of the Delaware, 331 miles from Hancock, New York, to its mouth at Cape May Point, New Jersey, is the longest free-flowing river in Eastern United States. Along the way, the islands of the Delaware are markers for the miles traversed on a float down the river, and for centuries of human history along its banks.

Elemental Experience

Rock scrambling at the Sourland Preserve
A rugged, forested landscape, Sourland Mountain can confuse novitiates. Ancient rocks, over a hundred million years old, rise up from the forest floor: rocks the size of fists, of basketballs, of small cars. After a few hours in the boulder fields, they start to look identical. For some, however, these boulders are a special challenge...
Or just take a seat at this Saturday's (July 13) annual Sourland Mountain Festival, hosted by the Sourland Conservancy at the Unionville Vineyards in Ringoes.

On The Banks Of The Wild Six

When the Jersey sky hangs white in summer haze, head to the woods at Six Mile Run in Franklin Township, Somerset County. The 3,037-acre property takes off from the Millstone River and winds its way through forest, meadow and suburb, with its own renegade offshoot creating the pond in Hidden Lake Park, before ending unceremoniously in a North Brunswick industrial park. But in the park that bears its name, a myriad of trails and habitats alongside this quiet stream are made for easy—long or short—relaxing walks.

Summer Reflections

The temperature has reached into the nineties, and it’s not yet noon. My fly rods remain in their tubes, my flies in their sleeves. It is much too hot to play tag with the fish of Bonnie Brook, too hot to do much of anything.

Easy Living

Kymer's Camping Resort offers park model, cabin and luxury tent rentals as well as trailer or tent campsites with water, electric and cable TV hookups and an Olympic-size swimming pool on two-hundred scenic acres located in Sussex County near the Kittatinny Mountains, at 69 Kymer Road in Branchville.

July 3 - 10

What Exit?

John Adams suggested how Americans might spend future Independence Days when he wrote to his wife on July 3, 1776.
Were it a mere matter of referendum, our exit from the British Empire would have been a dull affair, perhaps casually remembered today as "AMEX". But we chose revolution, and have since celebrated our independence for 248 years with fervor. The Fourth of July, as John Adams put it, "ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." Heed our forefather! There's plenty of action to choose from.

Stars and Spangles

The 13-Star Betsy Ross flag at Middlebrook
In New Jersey we are fortunate to be able to celebrate our independence on hallowed ground, the Crossroads of the Revolution, where so many crucial moments in the war took place.
Among the many Fourth of July festivities scheduled, the traditional patriotic exercises at the Middlebrook Encampment in Bridgewater will commence on Thursday, July 4. For 130 consecutive years, the Declaration of Independence has been read on Independence Day at the twenty-acre park operated by the Washington Campground Association at 1761 Middlebrook Rd. in Bridgewater. The park commemorates the two major Continental Army encampments at Middlebrook, in spring of 1777, and winter of 1778-79. It is here that the first American flag was unfurled, and where a 13-Star Betsy Ross flag flies continuously by special act of Congress. The solemn Independence Day Ceremony there, well-attended by dignitaries, consists of a changing of the flag and the reading of the Declaration, followed by a keynote speaker and an historical address. Ceremonies begin at 10am.
Morristown National Historical Park celebrates with July Fourth activities beginning at noon on the park's Washington’s Headquarters grounds, 30 Washington Place. The event will feature interactive demonstrations by reenactors from the 2nd New Jersey regiment. Visitors can join in singing soldier songs from the era, explore period-correct tents displaying what soldiers would have carried with them, and learn about the daily lives of soldiers during the Revolutionary War. These activities will be followed by the reading of the Declaration. At 1:00 pm, the "Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence" will commence.

Razzle Dazzle

Did you ever notice those large insects zipping over streams and ponds all summer long, skimming the water, then shooting about in zigzag patterns that make your head spin watching them? Dragonflies and damselflies, collectively belonging to the taxonomic order Odonata, are named for their prominent biting mouth parts and predatory nature. Not to worry they don't bite or hunt people! Amazing is the fact that there are more species of dragonflies in Sussex County (145, out of a possible 182 in NJ) than any other county in the United States. Rack up another superlative for NJ's Great Northwest!

Big Ponds, Big Fish

Walleye pike
Pound for pound, the hybrid striped bass rates right up there with the best of the fresh water fish when it comes to putting up a good fight once hooked. Pound for pound, the walleye is hard to beat for table fare, with some fishermen calling it the best tasting fish of them all. Fortunately for those anglers in this part of the state who like some muscle on the end of their line and tasty fillets on the table, there are plenty of both fish around due to vigorous and well-planned stocking programs. These fish are there ... but you're going to have to work for them.

Power Plants

For those in the know (and it's important that you know before you pick) the forests and fields of Northwest Jersey offer a visitor much more than a walk in the park. They are a veritable garden; Nature's garden of edible and medicinal plants. From the lowliest ground creeper to towering trees, each plant has some nutritional, chemical, edible properties, for better or worse. Much more...

Summer Sparklers

Peters Valley School of Craft shares the experience of the American Craft Movement with interactive learning through a series of workshops. A shop and gallery showcases the contemporary craft of residents and other talented artists at the Crafts Center... ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood and more in a beautiful natural setting.

The venue is part of the Historic Ramsaysburg Homestead along the Delaware River on Route 46 at Ramseyburg Road in Knowlton Township. Gates open at 3, so come early to picnic and enjoy the beautiful historic park.

On Sunday evenings, bring lawn chairs and a picnic supper to Oxford for free Shippen Manor Lawn Concerts. The series opens next Sunday, July 7 a selection of bluegrass from the Feinberg Brothers!

And the Somerset Concert Series in the Park is always a good bet. Shows are free and take place on Sunday evenings at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater.

Short Walks on the Long Trail

The Appalachian Trail, which stretches over two thousand miles from Georgia to Maine, enters New Jersey at the Delaware Water Gap, heads north along the Kittatinny Ridge to High Point, then east through the Pochuck Valley. The 72-mile New Jersey section is mostly undeveloped, and striking panoramas -- comparable to those in the Blue Ridge, Berkshire, and White Mountains, even the fabled Great Smokies -- are not uncommon along this rugged and remote section of trail. You can explore the midsection of New Jersey's Appalachian Trail as it traverses two of our most celebrated state parks — High Point and Stokes Forest — and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, along a 45-mile route along the Kittatinny Ridge through Sussex and Warren counties. Country lanes or park roads every few miles intersect the entire stretch so that you can plan any number of modest day hikes along the AT. Or take a couple of days to walk the whole distance. Elevation in this section ranges from 350 to 1,685 feet, and, if you prefer to walk downhill most of the time, hike north to south. You can conquer the Trail this summer by taking these suggested day hikes.

Just Plane Fun

The Flight Path Trail in Boonton Township traces the perimeter of what once was the Rockaway Valley Aerodrome.
It’s easy to overlook the rich aviation history in New Jersey’s northwest corner. Way before Silicon Valley and the dawn of the computer age, guys in basements and industrial labs in the Skylands worked on the hot tech of the day— flight Located in and around early Skylands airports, they helped move airplanes from mainly experimental and military enterprises into the heart of American commerce and lives. Make a loop this summer, visiting area airports and discover not only that science and history but also the thrill of flight — from the air if you dare, from the ground if you don’t. 

Spring in your step

Merriam Casa Bella at 131 North Main Street in Newton sits high on a slate ridge. The yellow and white mansion was built by Henry Merriam in 1883, a gorgeous, asymmetrical building that exhibits classic elements of Queen Anne architecture: elaborate porches with carved spindles, asymmetrical building, decorative turrets, projecting bays, dormer windows, fish scales, decorative panels in gables and a vibrant color.
A mix of historic buildings of varying architectural styles, a walkable downtown, and plentiful eateries surrounded by rural tranquility make Newton a fusion of the then and the now, with great expectations for the to be. Investigate!

Market Makers

Find fresh produce, vendors, entertainment and more at the Washington Borough Farmers' Market every Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm, from mid-June through the end of September.


Look for the Gallery 23 booth at the Blairstown Farmers Market for Makers Week this coming Saturday, June 29th, from 9:30-1. The gallery will be participating in this market the last Saturday of every month through October! Or visit the shop at 23 Main St. in Blairstown any time!

June 20 - 27

Blame it on the Sun!

Sunset On The Mountains (Allamuchy), photograph by Luisa Kazanfer.
Summer solstice, the day with more light than any other, is today, June 20! With the continued onslaught of climate-related disasters and frequent extreme weather, it seems reasonable to "go deep" and consider the challenge of exploring a new cosmological perspective different than the familiar one of the past centuries. That is exactly what evolutionary cosmologists like Brian Swimme, Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking have proposed by encouraging us to change our own inadequate perceptions of the world around us.

At any rate, you'll need to cope with the current heat wave and use all that extra sunshine to enjoy all that Northwest New Jersey has to offer this and every day of the splendid season. Take advantage of a schedule full of intriguing things for you and your family to enjoy. Choose among dozens of natural attractions or outdoor activities suggested on our website, or pick from a multitude of daytrip itineraries and hit the road!. Spread your wings and reach for the Skylands; summer starts now!

Take a Float on the Wild Side!

Heading upstream through the Refuge from Bassetts Bridge, the Wallkill is a corridor of beauty.
The Wallkill River shares with great rivers like the Nile and the Rhine the peculiarity of northward flow. From out of Lake Mohawk, it spills over a dam then becomes a stream, bubbling and rushing fast, seeming most determined to be free.

Heavenly Hues

Venus’ looking glass dominates on open ground.
As the wildflower season unfolds, the tree canopy leafs out, and wildflowers grow taller, reaching for the sun and no longer held back by frosts. Unlike long-blooming, non-native annuals that pervade the nursery trade, native perennial wildflowers bloom briefly, anywhere from one to four weeks, depending on the species. A regular visit to particularly robust nature preserves can reveal different wildflowers blooming each time. Jenny Jump State Forest has a magical variation in elevation and terrain that makes it a rewarding site for late spring forest flowers.

Estate Planning

A remnant of the Dodge Estate, in private hands for well over a century, is now accessible for public recreation.
Of all the things that Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge left behind—the thirty-five room mansion, hundreds of acres of prime real estate in one of the nation's wealthiest counties, a Fifth Avenue townhouse, enough sterling silver trophies and bronze sculptures to sink a small ship, museum quality paintings, and a forty-four carat sapphire, St. Hubert's Giralda may have been the one she valued most; a haven for unhappy dogdom. More...
You can enjoy the majesty of the former Dodge estate, Giralda Farms, this Saturday, June 22 for an evening of music and arts at the 40th Annual Giralda Farms Music & Arts Festival, featuring the New Jersey Symphony, along with an art show and sale, children’s activities, a raffle, and food trucks.

Locks and Lore

The Canal Society of New Jersey maintains a museum at Waterloo Village and has developed the Morris Canal Greenway, a succession of interpreted walks along former canal route across Northern NJ.
In the 19th Century, Waterloo Village was approximately half-way along the Morris Canal's 102-mile journey across the state and had all the components necessary to become a thriving canal town. You can get an idea of what it was like at this Saturday's (June 22) Waterloo Canal Day when the Byram Township Historical Society will partner with Waterloo Village Historic Site and the Canal Society of New Jersey for a full day of things to see and do. Admission and parking are free.
Waterloo Village is located at 525 Waterloo Road in Byram Township (Stanhope). For more information and updates, please check the website and download an event map here!

Aerobic Dads

Summertime adventure is easy to find on a back country road.
Tucked away in the seemingly endless landscape of ridge, valley, and wooded hillside of Warren County is an incredible bicycle-friendly network of quiet back roads linking together small towns and historic villages, re-purposed rail trails creating pastoral off-road adventures, and miles of single track trail tracing through the rocky upland forests. The weather's perfect for some vigorous exploration, so strap on a helmet and put some rubber on the road!

Walking Dads

Get lost with Dad in the other world of Hunterdon County, an almost a divine experience. Idyllic farms, narrow roads curving by fast rocky streams, gorgeous residences that seem tucked in a distant land and old movie-set towns blur time and geography. The Hill and Dale Preserve in Tewksbury is a recent purchase of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation (NJCF), an organization dedicated to saving and protecting New Jersey's important lands and natural resources for all to enjoy.

Planet Jersey!

If you come upon a wood turtle, admire that groovy carapace and those sexy red legs; and move him out of the road if you have to. But you may not take him home! Wood turtles gained designation as a threatened species in 1979 because of habitat loss and their popularity in the illegal pet trade. There are ten types of turtles in our neck of the woods; all quite fascinating, but let them be! Take a closer look...
For turtles and more, find captivating ideas for recreational enhancement on our Day Trip Map! For the more aerobically inclined, the Outdoor Map shows the way to go.

For the Birds

Photo by Dave Zolla
Who has not been enchanted by the mysterious hummingbird? With wings that beat too-fast-to-see, it seems to stand still in midair. If you can get closer you can hear the buzz of drone-like precision, sparkling like a gem in the sun encased by flashes of green, red and gold. Then it suddenly darts like a tiny spaceship to another zone where it may hover again for your inspection—or not. Close encounters of the hummingbird kind don’t have to be rare occasions. You can turn your backyard into a hummingbird paradise, a place where these beautiful creatures will become regular visitors. Don’t let them pass you by!

Wet and Wild

Boat launch near the spillway dam at Echo Lake
The Pequannock Watershed, which weaves through and around Newfoundland and West Milford, has been called one of the New Jersey’s last wilderness areas. To call it wild might seem exaggeration, and yet, with an extraordinary amount of land undeveloped and restricted, the word applies. A swath of forest crisscrossed by trails, some rough or unpaved roads, occasionally punctuated by development, the territory is familiar in places; rugged in others. There are miles of trails up, down, and around a mini-range of mountains, through woods, past rocky streams, still lakes and reservoirs, with glimpses of the ruins of a stone castle and abandoned iron mines, all framed by dramatic shears, sliced by the Wisconsin Glacier ages ago. Get familiar this spring!

Big Bucks

This aerial view looking east from Pennsylvania shows Labar Island in the Delaware River and Sunfish Pond at the top of the Kittatinny Ridge. The Worthington State Park headquarters are visible on the river bank.
If you like to hike in New Jersey, chances are you know Worthington State Forest. But few of the hikers, campers, canoeists, and nature lovers that visit Worthington realize that industrial pumps are responsible for the preserved wilderness and natural wonders that they enjoy there. Charles C. Worthington, a prominent and very wealthy New York socialite, sportsman, fisherman, and skilled rifleman, assembled this park in the late nineteenth century. He called it Buckwood Park.
