Weekend Update!

The 2nd Annual Lake Clean Up

will take place Saturday, May 16!

The weekend forecast calls for the possibility for rain both days, so we are still planning on Saturday. We will meet at the park office at 1:15-1:30 pm and head out from there. If it is raining hard at 1:30 pm we may decide to cancel. We will not be using our rain date. Visitors are welcome to help keep High Point beautiful on their own - every little bit makes a difference! Please call 973-702-0488 if you would like more information or have questions about the event.

Help keep High Point State Park beautiful! Join us as we clean up trash along the shores and in the waters of Lake Marcia, Steenykill, and Sawmill. Participants should bring their own waterproof footwear, hip-waiters, and work gloves if they have them. Please be aware that participants may get wet and dirty, so keep that in mind and wear appropriate clothing and footwear. There will be no swimming. Individuals, families with older children, and groups are welcome to participate in the lake clean up event.
