have lunch at an interesting place. This hike is moderate along woods
roads and paved roads. We expect to return to the parking area by 3:00

HIGHLIGHTS: A medicinal spring in this area was the
raison d'etre for the name of Good Spring Mountain and the Good Spring
House, a hotel to visit to cure what ailed you. There are rockshelters
and Indian campsites in the area. Later, Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps
lined its shores.
The North Jersey Highlands Historical Society (NJHHS), founded in 1954,
is dedicated to collecting and communicating the history of the Highlands
Region from prehistoric Native Americans to the present. We meet the last
Wednesday of every month at 8:00 pm in the Long Pond Ironworks Visitor's
Center. For more information, email info@northjerseyhistory.org.
