The Highlands Trail
The Highlands Trail extends over 180 miles to connect the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, continuing beyond both into Pennsylvania and Connecticut. It showcases the natural beauty of the local Highlands Region and connects local communities with the incredible recreational opportunities in their own backyards.
The Highlands Trail in New York and New Jersey is built and maintained by partnerships between public land managers, the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, and people just like you.
