Musconetcong Gorge — Attraction in Holland Township

The trail was a good work out with the husband and kids. I would say that the trail is moderate in most parts but difficult in others due to slippery rocks in the path. We saw a lot of toads which made the kids excited. The reason I only gave three stars is because there is way too much poison ivy on the trail. I know this trail is maintained by volunteers; however it was really stressful to watch my kids not be able to maneuver around the copious amounts of ivy everywhere. The trail needs to be widened/weeded in many spots because it has almost grown shut with poison ivy and other vegetation. Just wear long pants when you go until it is cleaned up. I will not return until the poison ivy has died back...

Beautiful forested trail. The different trails are clearly marked. You should use the AllTrails app to make sure to make the correct turns. It is easy to go from one trail to another without noticing. This is marked as moderate but it is more moderate-difficult. Steep climbs and decents. Lots of different foliage. I went at 7:30am on a Sunday and only saw one other person hiking the opposite direction after an hour and a half. Be aware that there are no views because the forest is very dense. Great for a Summertime hike on a hot day. Definitely wear hiking boots. Not a great trail for sneakers. Also, not for mountain biking...

There's nothing quite like this hike in this part of New Jersey. If you walk the full length of the blue trail you will experience two beautiful streams, and lots of great scenery along the way. I consider this trail to be moderate to strenuous depending on how far you go.

If you start at the Dennis Road parking area the hike to the first stream is moderate. If you proceed up the steep slope on the other side of the stream and continue along the ridge, you will likely find it...
