The New Jersey Highlands Trail has been designated a Millennium Trail by a partnership between the White House Millennium Council, U.S. Department of Transportation and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in cooperation with other agencies and organizations. When completed, the Highlands Trail will be a 150 mile long hiking and cross country skiing route from the Delaware River in Phillipsburg, New Jersey to the Hudson River at Storm King State Park in New York State. The Highlands Trail follows existing paths, historic routes, a canal towpath, and the Sussex Branch rail-trail. The Highlands Trail will be the foundation of a network of trails, alternate routes and multi-use paths throughout northern New Jersey. Highlands Trail Map
