Top 4 Places to Enjoy Fall Foliage in New Jersey

It can be argued that fall is the best time to visit New England. The beauty and tranquility of the fall foliage can give you a getaway you’ll never forget. If you are looking to unwind and relax on a budget before the inevitable hustle and bustle of the holiday season, consider visiting New Jersey. Call your friends at Value Van & Car Rental to help you get there in an affordable and reliable rental car. Consider these four locations with breathtaking scenery when planning your next New Jersey road trip.

1. High Point State Park – Monument Trail

The view from High Point Monument, at 1,803 feet above sea level, is a spectacular panorama of three states' rich farmland and forests, soft hills, and lush valleys. The blue line of the Delaware River divides the verdant ridges of New Jersey from those of Pennsylvania. High Point offers superb trails for hikers and skiers, and quiet spots for campers.

2. Torne Mountain / Osio Rock

This rugged, figure-eight, double-loop trail climbs two peaks at the southern end of Norvin Green State Forest: Torne Mountain and Osio Rock. It is perfect for the novice hikers. While the trail is only three miles long, it provides some truly breathtaking views.

3. Sunrise Mountain

Sunrise Mountain is a peak in the Kittatinny Mountains that reaches 1,650 feet high, and lies along the Appalachian Trail. The crest of Sunrise Mountain is one of the most frequently visited sites in Stokes State Forest.

4. Hacklebarney State Park

Hacklebarney is a favorite place 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.

Don’t miss your chance to see all of the incredible scenery that New Jersey has to offer, before the holiday season. With a quick call to Value Van & Car Rental at (908) 851-9595, you can sneak away for a long weekend and see some of the most beautiful landscapes in New England, all within driving distance. Stop in at one of our convenient locations in Union or Newark or make a reservation online anytime.
