This Jersey girl cannot get enough of her state! Every season brings new adventures and deepens my love for the state. From the golden shores to the lush highlands, New Jersey unfolds new adventures each season, deepening my love for this vibrant state.
New Jersey boasts 130 miles of stunning ocean coastline for summertime fun, stretching from Sandy Hook to Cape May, offering endless summer fun. Whether you're into deep-sea fishing, exploring family-friendly boardwalks, or visiting scenic vineyards, there's something for everyone to enjoy along the Jersey Shore.
Fall transforms our Northern region into a must-visit destination, bustling with farms offering apple picking, fresh cider, pumpkin picking, and hayrides against a magical backdrop of vibrant fall colors. Whether you choose Riamede Farm, Alstede Farm in Chester, Melick’s Town Farm in Califon, or my personal favorite, Wightman Farms in Morristown, you’re in for a delightful seasonal treat.
As fall's vibrant hues fade, winter wraps New Jersey in a sparkling white blanket, transforming our landscapes into a snowy wonderland. In the northern reaches, you can embrace the chill at Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon, where skiing, snowboarding, and tubing await. For those who prefer a quieter communion with nature, the trails of High Point Cross Country Ski Center in Sussex offer serene cross-country skiing opportunities.
As winter releases its clutches and Spring emerges, I encourage you to visit Branch Brook Park in Belleville, this park rivals Washington, D.C. with its cherry trees. Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown is known for their spring blooms, especially their tulips and roses. And if you haven’t visited The Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, you’re missing out on seeing the works of one of America's renowned sculptors, Seward Johnson. With its blend of sculptures and gardens, there is something for everyone.
Whether you’re drawn to the ocean waves, the vibrant fall foliage, or the blossoming gardens of spring, New Jersey has something for everyone every season. As someone who calls this state home, I’m proud to share all the amazing experiences it offers year-round. So, no matter when you visit, you'll find endless opportunities to explore, relax, and fall in love with the Garden State, just like I have. For more information on New Jersey Visit www.visitnj.org
