Join the Musconetcong Watershed Association and New Jersey Highlands Coalition for an exciting hike at the Musconetcong Gorge Preserve on Saturday, October 17, 2026 starting at 10:00a.m.
Our hike is a little under 3.5 miles, but contains multiple steep sections and two stream crossings, making it a more challenging trip. The hike is rated as difficult. 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.
Along our route Ben Yaskulka and Dylan Medici will discuss the ecology, geology and history of the region.
As with all Highlands Hikes, we practice Leave No Trace principles, including limiting group sizes to no more than 15, thus space is limited and registration is required.
