moderate climb, allow 2 hours
Directions: on 517 between Rt 80 and Hackettstown. From Rt80 pass
Mattars Restaurant on the right and then look for small green street
sign that reads Deer Pond Park Road on the left. Follow this lane for
almost 2 miles ,going past outhouses and resident lot, till you can't go
any further.We got to parking lot #1 and then hiked through the gate to
parking lot #2 where there is a map posted. Your search will be the
white trail along the pond to the pink overlook trail. Come back the
same way unless you are adventurous and can memorize the map. Check out
the beaver activity as you walk along the pond. Just before the
dam/bridge and by the sign that reads Weight Limit 20 Ton, take the well
worn pink trail on your right. Bear left at the fork and continue its
steady climb to the pinnacle.

Moderate 1 hour climb, or this could be combined with Marty's Mt.
Tammany box for a strenuous 1/2 day hike.
Directions: Rt. 80W to exit for Rest Area and Picnic, just before the
last exit in NJ. Pull into the second parking lot with a sign
Worthington State Park Dunefield Creek. Any questions just go to the
visitor center which is interesting anyway.
Start on the AT white trail and then bear right onto the green
Dunnefield Creek trail. After finding this box you could pick up the
blue trail right there for the strenuous hike up to the Mt. Tammany box.
Clues for the BENCH BOX BLUES
to be sung with a blues tune
If you're down and out,
with no place to go
Take a walk on the white side
where you can hike slow.
Pick up the green trail
following the falls.
Look for the bench
that beckons and calls.
After a rest
at 120 degrees
Take 50 paces
into the trees
Look under a stone ledge
there you will poke.
What you came for
is no joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
