Sometimes, we all need a little nature adventure. Luckily, New Jersey provides plenty of opportunities for that: Just check out all the amazing hiking the state has to offer. One such adventure is Wyanokie High Point, accessed via Highlands and Wyanokie Crest Trail. It is a long trail and it can be difficult at points but it also has an amazingly beautiful overlook with a view you won’t forget — and the hike there is pretty darn nice, too. It’s a loop trail, so you’ll see something new during every part of the experience.

Wyanokie High Point offers such a stunning view. Look at the winding river and all the trees!

The hike is rated as "moderate" on AllTrails and does feature 1,827 feet-elevation gain, so be prepared to huff and puff a little to get to the view.

Once you reach it, though, you'll feel totally rewarded. It's one of the best views of New Jersey you can get!
