| 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. | |

| Ilafan | LOVED IT! Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2009 | |
| After driving through endless miles of New Jersey suburbia and traffic lights, this state park was a treat! Quiet and peaceful with nice views and a great cool wind. LOVED IT! | |

| 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... | |

| grunt | windy Date Climbed: Mar 27, 2009 | |
| 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. | |

| Nice quick side trip during a long run on the AT. Bought two grilled cheese sandwiches and filled water bottles at the concession stand. | |

| 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! | |

| mlandau3 | Surprisingly Nice Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2008 | |

| maddie77777 | Nice obelisk Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2008 | |
| I just wish it hadn't been cloudy/foggy. No views whatsoever. Oh well, highpoint # 9 for me. | |

| 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!!! | |

| 2skinners | HP #15 Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2008 | |
| 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! | |

| Chinigo | HP #17 - drive up! Date Climbed: Mar 30, 2008 | |
| I let my car do most of the work on this one. It's a nice view from there. | |

| 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. | |
