I was not aware of the "7 Wonders of New Jersey" so this is very intriguing to me and I want to know more about these attractions myself. These 7 sites are perfect for making part of your "Jersey Adventure". So let's take a look at the 7 Wonders of New Jersey, according to an article by Only In Your State which is featured in Only In New Jersey.

7. Pinelands National Reserve:

I have lived within the "pinelands" for most of my life here in Ocean County and it is beautiful and very large. According to NJ.gov "The New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve is approximately 1.1 million acres, which is about 22% of the state's total land area. It's the largest open space on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard between Richmond and Boston."

6. Island Beach State Park:

One of the best beaches at the Jersey Shore, Island Beach State Park is a beautiful place to visit. Thousands head to Island Beach every weekend in the summer and if you are looking for a picture-perfect beach on the East Coast then this is a must-see.

5. Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook, Atlantic Highlands:

This Monmouth County site is a beautiful spot to see the Atlantic Ocean and more. "At 266 feet, this is the highest natural point on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine. On a clear day, it offers panoramic views of Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay, and the New York skyline. The 12-acre park is also home to Monmouth County’s 9/11 memorial."

4. Palisades Interstate Park:

If you are looking to see a lot then this is a must-stop. "You'll find several hiking trails and scenic views of the Hudson River. The park is free to visit, offers boat access at the Alpine Boat Basin and even has a snack shack. There's plenty of park to enjoy - it runs along the Hudson from Fort Lee all the way up to New York State. The highlight is the gorgeous cliffs which reach nearly 550' at their highest point."

3. Great Falls National Historic Park, Paterson:

We are not known for great waterfalls here in New Jersey, but this one is on the list for the "7 Wonders of New Jersey". I have not gotten to the falls but it's on my list.

2. Tripod Rock, Kinnelon:

This is an intriguing site and a must-see in person. The photo above is a "simulated photo" of this rock display. "Tripod Rock is a glacial erratic located in the uniquely named Pyramid Mountain Natural Historical Area. A glacial erratic is a piece of rock that differs from the size and type of rock native to the area in which it rests. It is carried by the melting of glacial ice, sometimes for miles."

1. Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area:

A beautiful part of New Jersey is the Delaware Water Gap. "This 66,000-acre recreation area spans two states - New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Garden State's side features magnificent mountains (Mount Tammany is the highlight), a riverfront beach (Turtle Beach), a wide range of hiking trails, and the beautiful Buttermilk Falls. At 200 feet tall, it is the highest waterfall in New Jersey."
