Best Waterfalls In New Jersey
Where can I find the best waterfalls in New Jersey?
The Great Falls are New Jersey's most famous falls, but here are some other great cascades to chase down!
- Buttermilk Falls might not be the most famous waterfall in New Jersey, but it is the tallest. This 85-foot-tall cascade is located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and is accessible via a steep staircase that takes you to an amazing vista. If you're not up for the hike, a 1.5-mile trail is another way to get close to the falls for photo opportunities.
- Ramapo Mountain State Forest is one of the most peaceful spots in the state, a huge wilderness area with a beautiful overlook. You simply take a 2.2-mile out-and-back trail that leads you past wildflower fields, a lake, ruins, and even a small but beautiful waterfall right by the main overlook.
- Hacklebarney State Park was originally only 32 acres, but is now over thirty times that size and is one of the state's most beautiful spots for exploring. The park is split by the Black River Gorge, and as you follow the path of this stunning body of water, you'll find several small waterfalls with beautiful views. Part of the joy of taking this trail is that you never know what you'll encounter next.
