Hike: Mt Tammany (difficult) April 3, 2009

---

Are you ready to be blown away? The Mount Tammany Hike is one of the most famous in all of New Jersey. The views are some of the most spectacular in the state and at one point there is even a 1300 foot drop off to the Delaware River below! The hike starts off at around 200 ft above sea level and climb to 1527ft above all in about 2 miles! The terrain is very rocky so ankle support is important. Along the hike you will find beautiful streams, quaint waterfalls, and an abundance of unique foliage. So, if you are in good physical shape and are ready for a challenge, join us!

Continue past the underpass to the left and turn right into a parking area at a sign for "Dunnfield Creek Natural Area." (If you miss the exit from Route 80, take Exit 1, turn left at the end of the ramp, and continue on the service road parallel to Route 80 past the visitor center. Turn left at the underpass, go under Route 80, turn left again, and turn right at the "Dunnfield Creek Natural Area" sign. It is almost impossible to use an online mapping system as there is no street address for the Dunnfield Creek Natural Area. The park is right outside of Columbia NJ, off route 80 (past exit 4 but before exit 1). Here is the actual Mount Tammany hike with directions.
