High Point Monument in Sussex, New Jersey during reconstruction
in August 2000. The view from High Point Monument, at 1,803 feet
above sea level, is a spectacular panorama of rich farmland and
forest, soft hills and lush valleys in three states. The blue line
of the Delaware River divides the verdant ridges of New Jersey from
those of Pennsylvania. High Point offers superb trails for hikers
and skiers and quiet spots for campers and anglers. The land for
High Point State Park, donated by Colonel Anthony R. and Susie Dryden
Kuser, was dedicated as a park in 1923. The pleasant landscaping
was designed by the Olmsted Brothers of Boston, a prominent landscape
architectural firm of that time. The brothers were the sons of the
eminent Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed Central Park. |
