Glacial lakes, limestone outcroppings, former railroads, and
a
small airport are features of Kittatinny Valley State Park.
Lake
Aeroflex and Gardner’s Pond form part of the headwaters
of
the Pequest River and are excellent for fishing and boating.
This
scenic property is home to a variety of wildlife such as
whitetail
deer, wild turkey, a variety of songbirds, beaver, muskrats,
and
squirrels.
Hunting, hiking, mountain biking, birding, and horseback
riding
are popular activities. The four lakes offer fishing, boating,
and
kayaking opportunities.
The Paulinskill Valley Trail and the Sussex Branch Trail
are
former railroads that have been converted for use as multiple
use
trails. Both railroads were critical to the development of
Sussex
County through the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
The
wide cinder surface is ideal for walking, running, mountain
biking,
and horseback riding. When snow conditions are abundant,
these
trails provide and excellent opportunity for cross-country
skiing,
and snowshoeing.
Kittatinny Valley State Park and rail trails are open
during
daylight hours only. The Lake Aeroflex boat ramp is open 24
hours
for fishing from boats.
Cache is located in a section of
the
park where hunting is permitted. Please wear orange during
hunting
season.
