| Redwic | Nice HP, But Windy!!! Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008 | |
| When I reached this HP, storm clouds were quickly moving in and the wind was really picking up speed. I like the summit obelisk/ monument. I could even see it a few times many miles away, after leaving High Point State Park. This was the sixth of seven HPs (plus Washington, D.C.) I would reach in two days' time. HP #30 for me. 60% complete!!! Woohoo!!! | |

| I originally planned to do the 4 mile or so hike on this one, but as I got closer it started pouring down rain. I'm not big on rain, so I just went ahead and did the drive up to this one. Pretty impressive monument for such a little high point! | |

| StumblingBear | In A Fog Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2006 | |
| Hey its Jersey! Was in a fog but it broke up and was able to see a bit from the top of the monument. My legs ached for a week after climbing the stairs to the observation level. | |

| Great views from this highpoint. We had the entire park to ourselves. This was HP #2 for the Mrs., and HP #4 for me. | |

| Nice but freezing (-7C) walk from park visitors office up to the monument which was closed. The lake completely frozen and making funny sounds though beautiful. 1h in total. | |

| weeds19 | In the rain Date Climbed: May 27, 2005 | |
| We drove over to Jersery from Dayton OH for a friends wedding and stopped here along the way. Unfortunately it was raining so we made a quick dash to the top and then headed to the city. | ||

| Six2 | Extra scrambling bonus Date Climbed: Jan 15, 2007 | |
| Folks doing construction on the front of the tower told us the area was closed so I climbed the wall on the back side of the tower platform to attain the highest spot. It was a very pretty hike up from the east side on the AT, the steep mountainside and waterfall were an unexpected treat. | |

| eric-griz | Does tower ever open? Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2000 | |
| A nice backpacking trip. Later that same year I'd ascend again during my AT thru-hike. Is the tower ever open to visitors? | |

| Holsti97 | Great View in Jersey Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2007 | |
| After a tough hike on Mt. Frissell we drove to the top of this state highpoint on the same day. Was surprised to find a pretty park and great views. Weather cleared and was sunny. HP #29. | |

| tioga | Park Rangers Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2006 | |
| Climbed around the mountain a bit with a college friend. Apparently the park closes at 8pm so I got picked up by a park ranger and got hauled back to my car without my friend. I quickly found him running the road toward me, though. Hit the top again on February 15, 2010 with my wife on our return from the Catskills. | |
