| Yep when the leaves were down I could see this from the top of my driveway! I don't remember the year off my head, but I was definitely up there ;-) Great fall day, I do recall..... | |

| TrailtrekerNJ | Re-visit to claim HP Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2010 | |
| This was a re-visit to claim the high point. Living in NJ I have visited and hiked this park on numerous occasions. However I can not find any pictures from the past to document/prove my summit. I have old post cards, an old banner and an old patch purchased from the environmental center, but no pictures right now. I will find them! Any ways this also proved that I enjoyed the winter hibernation toooooo much:( I had to stop once/twice/three times to catch my breath as we ascended some portions. So its off to the gym to get the cardio going again and prepare for Mt. Marcy. | |

| Tbacon251 | Got NJ! Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2009 | |
| Reached the high point at 8:30 am on July 30, 2009. I forgot the Highpointers convention was going on. The tower was open so my daughter and I climbed to the top. It was a bit foggy due to the rain/storms that went through the night before. Nice area and park. Would like to go back to spend some more time. | |

| osatrik | #2 SHP - beginning the quest Date Climbed: Sep 23, 1985 | |
| My 9-year old daughter Vanessa and I started our highpoint quest in September 1985, going to Vermont, New Jersey, and Delaware. 24 years later I completed #49, and have no intent to go to Alasaka. | |

| Hotoven | Super Cold, but fun! Date Climbed: Jan 10, 2009 | |
| Climbed this in lots of snow, and right after a ice storm. So branches of shrubs were hanging over the trail, making hiking very hard. It was around -12 with the wind chill, but still a great hike with a clear view! | |

| mthomas | Not quite a hike... Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2003 | |
| Drove from Connecticut after Thanksgiving to tag this easy highpoint. At least to make it more interesting, it was raining hard, so I climbed this in full-on autumn conditions... | |

| Drove over from Scranton, PA for my 6th state highpoint. It was very windy and quite cold up top. We couldn't believe how few people were there - we only saw 5 other visitors. We only hiked from the parking lot, but we did take a nice little hike around the swamp in the park. | |

| skinnywhitecomic | HP #15 Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2009 | |
| It was rather windy when we got up there. No obelisk ascent, as it was closed for winter. But not bad looking for a highpoint! | |
