North Jersey Trails 8th Edition

The totally revised and now digitally produced eighth edition of the North Jersey Trails map set will be available in January. In addition to providing a complete update, improvements to the previous, analog editions include a 16% expansion of the scale for increased clarity, inclusion of additional public lands, and the addition to the appropriate map back of an expanded, more useful map of Campgaw Mountain County Reservation.

The map datum is updated to NAD83. UTM grid lines are retained, with lines every 1,000 meters (0.62 mile), for convenient use with GPS units and for estimating distances. Contour lines have been improved from 100-foot to 20-foot intervals. To greatly improve convenience, Campgaw, Ramapo Valley Reservation, Ringwood State Park, Ramapo Mountain SF, Norvin Green, and the Wanaque and Monksville Reservoirs now all appear together on the single sheet of the expanded eastern map.

With exceptional help from many Trail Conference members and excellent cooperation of the parks, trail routes have been updated and corrected. Further, and very importantly, new sections of trail that close two gaps in the Highlands Trail are shown on these maps. Of course the maps continue to be printed on waterproof, tear resistant Tyvek.

Get up to date with this new edition! To obtain your new North Jersey Trails map set, see Hikers’ Marketplace, call 201- 512-9348, ext. 11, or drop into the Trail Conference Office.
