High Point State Park covers 15,413 acres of the Kittatinny Mountains in Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey, near the New York and Pennsylvania borders, and has the state's highest point. Colonel Anthony Kuser and his wife donated the land, dedicated as a park in 1923 with landscaping by the Olmsted Brothers. The High Point Monument (1928-1930), a 220-foot obelisk honoring war veterans, gives views over three states, the Poconos, the Catskills, and the Delaware Water Gap.
The Appalachian Trail crosses the park along a rocky ridge, and there are trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, camping, and a lake.
