Jockey Hollow Visitor Center — Local services in Harding Township

I'll say this first and foremost; I you are planning to visit this place make sure you put everyone in one car, or as few cars as possible. It's popular, especially if it's Autumn. The leaf peepers will be out in full force and so will the park rangers, and the rangers give tickets for parking and speeding! Aside from that it's a beautiful park.

It has a bit of merch, a self-start video and a Ranger who did not seem as well informed as other Rangers in National Parks. You have to pay for the trail map. However, there is no entrance fee to the Park.

The Visitor's Center is located in the main body of Jockey Hollow, which includes replicas of soldiers' huts and the Wick Farm, which housed Revolutionary War forces for three harsh winters. A little further west and across the street on Tempe Wick Road you'll find the (Revolutionary War) New Jersey Battalion HQ and the Cross Estate Gardens, also...
