Confirmed from Wyanokie High Point's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area with a well-marked 2.3-mile trail leading to a scenic overlook of New Jersey.

“The trail to the falls and loop are clearly marked, and the view and scenery was absolutely worth it and beautiful.”

Trails are marked well till the top. Once you reach the top after 2.3 miles of hike, you'll feel totally rewarded. It's one of the best views of New Jersey you can ever get ! Watch more on YouTube: Karma Rayshar
Great, competitive hike, though much snow and ice can remain even after several days of warm weather (hiked in March); many points during the hike can get incredibly slippery in these conditions! The views are breathtaking and absolutely worth the brief climb!
Amazing place to hike not far from the top and a 360 view from the top with NYC and jersey city skyline on a good day. Very little scramble just at the very top lots of rock but small ones.
Don’t get lost in the woods! 😆 This was one of our most memorable hike’s, as we got lost within the woods ended up following multiple trails - white, green and blue to finally get to the summit. But trust me all the pain and sweat was worth viewing the Summit.

“Amazing place to hike not far from the top and a 360 view from the top with NYC and jersey city skyline on a good day.”
“Lots of ups and downs on rocks, loose gravel, and debris, and if you continue the loop past the falls, the decent down the rocks once reaching the top are quite steep.”
“It starts to get busy after like 9-10 am on the weekends so parking may be hard after that.”

“Walk up the road (snake end) marked by green trail markers on the trees.”
