The quiet charm of Wawayanda appeals to hikers, campers, swimmers and boaters. Forested hills surround Lake Wawayanda creating a restful backdrop for canoeists, boaters and fisherman, while steep mountains challenge casual as well as serious hikers. A twenty-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail runs through the park, while the top of Wawayanda Mountain offers sensational views. More than sixty miles of trails are marked in the park. Wawayanda State Park is a 34,350 acre state park in Sussex County and Passaic County in northern New Jersey. The park is in Vernon Township on the Sussex side, and West Milford on the Passaic side. Troop 49  will be Canoeing/Fishing (Anyone age 16 and older must have a valid NJ fishing license) (http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/fishneed.htm) and Hiking the Appalachian trail which will take us up to the ridgeline west of Greenwood lake. We may also have an opportunity to do a service project for the park itself if we have time.
