Hacklebarney State Park

Hacklebarney State Park is a wooded refuge tucked along the Black River, known for its scenic beauty and tranquil setting. Trails wind through dense forest and beside rocky riverbanks, offering a mix of easy walks and more adventurous hikes. The water plays a central role here, rushing through boulder-lined channels, feeding quiet pools, and creating rhythm and movement that define the landscape.

Whether you’re following the river trail, watching for birds and wildlife, or simply enjoying the shade of mature trees, Hacklebarney invites you to enjoy the nature of the NJ Highlands.
