These trails run along the summit and just below the ridge of Jenny Jump Mountain through pleasant forest, and with some fine views from the summit. One trail runs from the summit ridge down to Ghost Lake where fishing is allowed. None of the trails are particularly strenuous, although the Spring Trail has short steep scrambles up to the ridge from either side. After 1 mile, in the center of Hope, turn left onto Route 519 and in about a mile turn right onto Shiloh Rd and follow the brown State Park signs to the park entrance. The Mountain Lake section of Jenny Jump can be reached by following Route 617 north from Route 46 in Buttzville.
Maps are available at the office located in the main activity area.
This area can be crowded on weekends in the summer. The best time for hiking is either off-season, or weekdays in the summer. If you have small children in your entourage, the Land of Make Believe is close by in Hope. I have never been to Northern New Jersey until this weekend, and boy was I ever impressed. I couldn't get over the fact that this forest was so beautiful.
