About the event
Join the Musconetcong Watershed Association and New Jersey Highlands Coalition for an exciting hike at the Musconetcong Gorge Preserve on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 9:30a.m. The Musconetcong Gorge Preserve is managed by Hunterdon County and contains a section of the extensive Highlands Trail. Our hike is a little under 3.5 miles, but contains multiple steep sections and two stream crossings, making it a more challenging trip. However, hikers are rewarded by the beauty of Scout Run, a scenic stream that tumbles down rocks through the Gorge before reaching the Musconetcong River. Our route will also take us past the Warren Glen Dam, the largest remaining dam on the Musconetcong, which is being studied for potential removal by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. We will meet at 9:30a.m. in the parking area on Dennis Rd. in Holland Township.  The location for that lot is here: https://goo.gl/maps/9kGe3HNyFJzQtkzZA Space is limited and registration is required. When filling out the form, please only register one person at a time. Learn more about the Great Waters NJ initiative: www.greatwatersnj.org
