3 Reasons to Visit New Jersey in the Fall

Cooler weather will be here soon, and fall will be in full swing in New Jersey. At Value Van & Car Rental, we believe there is no bad time to visit our great state, however, we are partial to fall. Lets us help you get your trip started by sharing our top three reasons why you should plan a visit to New Jersey this fall.

1. Foliage

Fall is the best time to visit New England because of the foliage. The beauty and tranquility of the leaves will make your getaway something you'll never forget. Visit High Point State Park to take in the view from 1,803 feet above sea level. It offers a spectacular panoramic view of three states’ rich farmland and forests, soft hills, and lush valleys. Or try out Hacklebarney State Park- a favorite for avid anglers, hikers, and picnickers. The gushing river against the grey boulders and dark green hemlocks creates unbelievable scenery that is a ‘must visit’ when visiting New Jersey.

2. Budget

Most vacation spots experience the largest volume of visitors in the spring and summer months. September through December, apart from the holidays, are less popular. Using the rules of supply and demand, this means you’ll get less expensive accommodations during the fall and winter months. You may even be able to find even more savings on a rental car on our specials page before you make your reservation.

3. Fun

Regardless of the season, New Jersey is always filled with fun adventures and entertainment. Avoiding peak travel season also means fewer crowds while you’re seeing the sights. One of our favorite events this fall is the Corn Maze Train from the Delaware River Railroad Excursions. Located in Phillipsburg, this event runs from late August to October 27th, and is fun for the whole family. You can ride the train to the beautiful Snyder farm where there are games to play in the maze, a beautiful picnic grove and even an old mine where you can pan for gem stones.

A New Jersey vacation is a great idea any time of year, but we think you'll love it in the fall. To get started, rent a car from Value Van & Car Rental today. Contact us today at (908) 851-9595 or make a reservation online for any of our New Jersey locations.
