Autumn at Duke Farms, Hillsborough
Although New England gets more attention, New Jersey offers plenty of locations for great autumn colors. This past weekend, travelers throughout the Garden State could see early changes in foliage. After a dry month, the needed rain will knock down some leaves but it should be minimal.
Some areas of NJ, including Long Pond Ironworks State Park in Passaic County and the Wharton State Forest are already at mid-peak conditions.
The NJ Forest Service's Facebook page at facebook.com/NewJerseyForests posts a weekly foliage update on Fridays.
Take in the striking foliage at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (Skylands Region), where you can hike part of the iconic Appalachian Trail. At High Point State Park in Sussex (Skylands Region), trek to the summit of the Kittatinny Ridge for sweeping views of the Poconos, Catskills and the Wallkill River Valley. Allamuchy Mountain State Park in Stanhope (Skylands Region) offers several waterways, so you can enjoy the reflections of dazzling fall colors in their glassy surfaces.
