Stephens State Park – White Loop and Fire Tower - 3/20/11

[njHiking.com]

Decided to check out Stephens State Park once we stumbled on a trail map that showed the potential for long loops here. This park is located right next to Allamuchy State Park, which we'd been to before, but we'd skipped Stephens because the official map only shows a few short trails around the parking lot.

10.2 miles, moderate trail surface. Lots of level woods roads, with some steep sections.

There is only one viewpoint on this loop, and that is if you go all the way to the fire tower. The rest is mostly pleasant hiking, on a lot of woods roads.

If you aren't looking for a long hike and are more into short trails, playgrounds and picnic areas, you'll still want to check this park out...
