Must-See North Jersey Hiking Spot🥾🌲 📍Ram Must-See North Jersey Hiking Spot🥾🌲

📍Ramapo Valley County Reservation

There is a public parking lot on-site as well as a variety of trails! We enjoyed an easy-to-moderate waterfall loop trail, which took us along a lush wooded path, footbridge, and stairs.

📌 Yellow Vista Loop Trail

Specifically, we walked along the Vista Spur Trail from the parking lot, past Scarlett Oak Pond, then took a left onto the Yellow Vista Loop Trail. We passed the waterfall on this trail, and then connected onto the ridge loop trail to get back to the Scarlett Oak Pond and parking lot. I’d guess it was around 2 miles to do this hike!

I showcased this hike in a recent reel that I did with @columbia1938 so def check that out for more from the hike!😊

My full fit is from Columbia!

Happy exploring! Don’t forget to follow @lifestylejessica for more fun things to do in & around NJ & the Northeast.

Have you ever been to the tallest waterfall in NJ? Have you ever been to the tallest waterfall in NJ?😲🥾

📍Buttermilk Falls (Sussex County, NJ)

Located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area near Walpack Township & Layton, NJ (Sandyston, NJ).

Some sources say that this waterfall cascades approximately 75-90 feet down, making it the highest waterfall in the state! Paterson Great Falls is 77 ft, so some people may debate which is the actually the tallest.

We parked by the Walpack Center Methodist Church, which is a part of the remains of a historical village. We then walked along a road for about 40-45 minutes to Buttermilk Falls. On this tree-lined road, we passed the Wallpack Cemetery, which had tombstones from the 1800s.

There’s actually a parking lot directly across the road from the falls, but I’m not entirely sure how cars get to it with the road closures. I think if you map the Wallpack Cemetery, you can then drive from the cemetery to the falls parking lot by following Brook Rd/Mountain Rd. There are some road closures on Mountain Rd, so Google Maps may not take you the correct way. We had no issues parking by the church and walking! We did see a few cars drive past us while we were walking.

Stay safe & happy exploring! Don’t forget to follow me for more fun things to do in & around NJ & the Northeast!💛
