This is a nice place to hike on any kind of day. Rain or shine. You'll see deer, turkey, and if you're lucky you will see a bear. The trails are well marked and plentiful. The visitor center has info on George Washington's troops and lives back during the war. The Wick House is interesting with the inside much like... More

The site of a soldiers' encampment during the Revolutionary War. Washington and his troops spent a difficult winter here with few supplies.

This is where "AMERICA" learned how hard it was to win the war. It also taught "AMERICA" that "WE" were one against many.

Jockey Hollow is a well maintained park in a lovely setting in NJ. There are not many structures in this Revolutionary War site other than the original homestead, a few re-created soldiers' cabins, and the visitor center which shows an informative film. However, the park has excellent trails and the paved roads are easily walked. It is surprising that Valley... More
