Orange trail was a great workout; steep and relatively short (less than an hour) - Just be careful not to slip on leaves or mossy rocks. I can see why the Highlands Trail is so popular. So many picnic table and BBQ spots besides a calming river.

I love this place for its water flow serenity and calmness

Beautiful environment! Fishing or enjoy the trails

Great place for a family picnic. Lots of picnic tables and BBQs. The playground was closed due to the pandemic and that is understandable. The bathrooms were very clean, but they also closed at 3pm. Other than that, the hiking trails, the water, bridges, trees...Everything was awesome. It is in my favorite spots list. I really wish we could camp there, but the campsites are closed for the season.

Not very busy when I was there. Perfect place for grilling by the river.

Great little walk path not overcrowded

Great park for camping & walking around. There’s a beautiful stream that runs through the campground. It’s also dog friendly! Neat little spot we found.

A beautiful oasis especially on a cool fall day

My local State Park is a real gem! Beautifully maintained & a joy to hike in. One of my fav spots is the Eagle Scout island, just lovely!

After a long bike ride hang the hammock and relax with the sound of the river . Just perfect !!!

A hidden gem of a park. Very relaxing!

Beautiful area, tricky to get to. I sat by the river and a friendly older gentleman was on the other side of a riverbank playing guitar. We waved at each other and I meditated on his songs and the lapping of the water. Would do again.

One way in and one way out which isnt normally a problem but for some reason, theres always that one person going the wrong way in a one way here. Anyway, the park is quite large that opens out for picnicking and family outings of all shapes and sizes. Id recommend you come early for the best spots of course because once people set up, they usually stay all day. This is like most state parks, a dry park so dont try to bring in booze or you will be asked to leave and theres a station in the parking lot. Adjacent to the park station is the bathrooms for those wondering and its a building, not a portable toilet. There are definitely fish in the river but I was not lucky enough to catch one but I will be back soon.

Pretty place. Good fishing. Crazy crowded today (memorial day weekend)

Nice little park near Hackettstown, only 4 stars because it started getting crowded before I left and there were no trash cans.

It is. Free to enter free to park they supply BBQ grills tables bathrooms and its all kept very clean and the scenery is gorgeous

Easy walking, plenty of picnic tables along the trail.

Nice trail to walk with children not to difficult there are 4 streams you need to cross to go see the old car. But are not difficult to cross.

Camping was average to below average. Review for campsite #35: first, you essentially share a site with #37 as they must walk through yours to get to their site. Site 37 is behind 35. Secondly, at night you hear a major roadway and the train that cuts through the park. One restroom facility which was somewhat clean, with two out of three showers functioning for the park. Not the worst ever by far and did the job. Some camp sites #33 and #39 are very large and offer some great space.Very close and convenient to great hiking / mountain biking. Staff were friendly, helpful and responsive to any request. Unsure if the water from the pumps were potable. Plenty of fun geocaching sites. Would stay there again, but a different camp site.

Great Place to camp, fish and hike!

Had my first visit there and it was amazing! Very resonable fee for camping grounds. Definitely going back. Going to the bathroom at night with all the bugs/webs around the entrance creeped me out a bit. Loved the trails and the river that we fished out of. Overall amazing place to relax and planning on going again next month!

Closed July 12th 20 . not posted on Facebook or any other websites, we drove hours to get there to see park closed sign!! what a careless act from the park

The greatest spot in NJA gorgeous little park tucked away in Allamuchy, Warren, County NJEnjoy the peaceful brook, wildlife and birds.Picnic, fish, enjoy a nature trail. Full bathrooms, bbqs, park swings, slide, picnic tables. Wonderful hidden gem.

Beautiful easy trail by the stream. No swimming allowed but plenty of fishing spots. Perfect forest walk for our boys and their nets.

Very nice place to go for a walk take your dog itll love it

Been visiting here for 50 years. Ever so peaceful

Loved our walk with our Pup!! The Red trail is just under a mile and the Boy Scouts provided lovely benches to take a rest. It is an easy trail with some slight ruggedness....

Lovely place quit streams and places to sit and hiking as well

Best campsite to date. Great showers. Clean bathroom. Potable water and a sink to clean your dishes.

We went there two weeks ago but park was closed... although voice message on there phone and website said it is open. Very bad way to have people drive for hr and then find out park is closed .... a person who lived near said they ran out of money...

Stephens is beautiful in a few spots but kind of lacking in others. The view of the river near the bridge is gorgeous. The playground is run down. Camping here not my favorite. Sites are close together and you can hear cars on the road. The picnic tables seem like theyve been there for a few decades. Its a decent spot to relax and have lunch but thats about it.

Good mountain biking here. Narrow single track. Smoother with flow. Some fun rock features here and there.

Very nice. Large area. Pond. Swing set. Respect wildlife. Read up on some encounters you may come across. Do not feed any animal. Keep the park clean for the wilderness too. NO SMOKING

A park that you can truly relax and meditate

Website did not indicate it was closed. Drove there and signs said closed for tree removal.

Its a really beautiful park.

Beautiful ParkEven for the HANDICAP.

Always love this place. Dog friendly and well maintained. Grounds are always clean and free of garbage. Great for walks along trails or a day of bbq and fishing with the family

Loved the trails, especially along the river/creek. It has several trail options for hikers, bikers, and horses. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too, with trail recommendations. Also saw people maintaining the trails and campsites.

Nice place to see birds and enjoy the outdoors

We had an awesome time here for our church picnic...everybody loved this park...we usually prefer state parks with lake,so our kids can have fun...well heres the best thing about this park...the trail walk will make us realize the beauty of the nature just the way God created...if you want to go relax,enjoy the nature and have a good time with your family and friends....this is your park...we will definitely come back next year for summer...

Very nice park! Lots of picnic tables to have a nice day along the waters edge.

What a beautiful park this is, fishing camping, grills

Since childhood, the best place to go to get away from it all and into nature for some nice scenery, or a walk through the woods.

It was awesome so good experience.

Very clean, beautiful park. Pet friendly and nice trails.

Great place for mountain biking

I love this place so much

BeautifulEasily accessible and great walking and hiking trails. Great place for a picnic.

Nice place for family picnic

All inspiring hikes along New Jerseys northern inland rivers

It was absolutely beautiful and Id love to go back for another visit

Great place to relax and camp but no water, dumping or electricity and the showers are ... not too warm. It is awesome for day rest and ok for few nights.

We go hiking and do BBQ sometimes, so Beautiful ~

Beautiful park for walks to clear your mind

Complete with the lovely little campground this little state park has a lot to offer period fishing and hiking and plenty of photography opportunities.

The site is very beautiful with hiking trails. There were only 3 showers: One was not working, one was not locking. We used the third one and the water was cold. We were also surprised that there was no dumping station but we found out it is because the site is mostly for tents. There is a park for kids and a volley ball field. Alot of pick nick areas along the water. The man working at the office (Frank?) was very nice. He waited for us to arrive even if his day was finished and he gave us alot of advices for travelling to New York city.

Went here today after several years and was so disappointed in the amount of litter both in the water, on trails, and bagfuls left by the picnic tables.

Trails were well maintained and marked. Benches are spaced along the trail.Very enjoyable time.

Have camped here and fished. Nice relaxing spot. Well maintained facilities.

Scenic and idyllic

Great hiking

Beautiful natural must see local attraction

Multiple trials, not very crowded.

Lots of Hiking. Plenty of Barbecue and Picknick Areas. Big Gazebo Area with Tables. Playground for Children near Parking Lot. Campgrounds seem very close together and overly crowded. Deffinitely Car Camping ️ and not Real Back Country Camping ️.

You only listen the sound of stream. Do nothing but you relax and peaceful.

Cute little camping area and its allows dogs at certain sites!

The biking trail were hard but good.

I Love Stephens State Park and have been going there for years for walks, picnics, and family reunions. As time goes by more and more people have discovered this piece of nature with the picnic tables and grills so getting there early in the day has become manditory. You must carry out what you bring in and its a no swimming stream. Fishing is ok and the stream is stocked.

Love this fishing spot

Beautiful park. Nice trails to hike or mountain bike . Place for the children to play & the parents to sit & relax. Public restrooms in a case of a pit stop. There is a cool little island in the river right by the parking lot too. Its clean except for the occasional lazy dog owner. The park is whatever you bring in you take out. Nice escape for a couple hours.

Perfectly peaceful.. trails.. water.. we stay the whole day.. me & my fur-babies..

I take the kids I babysit here and they enjoy the playground and walk.

Excellent mountain biking

We have been coming to Stephens State Park for the last five years for our family reunion. After our experience this weekend, we will not be returning. The park staff member that met us in the morning was extremely rude, disrespectful and out of line. He treated us like garbage, raised his voice several times when we asked simple questions, and called other park staff members incompetent. NJ State Park should be ashamed to be associated with this guy. He should be forced to undergo training on how not to treat guests.

Park was beautiful. Camp sites were clean bathrooms were clean, hicking trail was great . We will return

Stayed at the camp sites. Overall a nice state park. The campsites are well secluded from the day picnickers and the ranges do a good job patrolling the area to keep out non campers. The camp sites are some what disconnected from the river, but there is a path to take to get there. The river is fun to Wade in, but its not for boating or even much swimming. Some campsites are close to each other, but it seems that not many people camp out there, so we have been pleasantly surprised by how few people are around us. The bathrooms are also top notch. Overall a local and fun family adventure area. The playground has also been a big hit.

Its peaceful and quiet.

This park has a little bit of everything. Good place to park and read a book in the shade of the trees. Easy flat trails and difficult trails nearby up the mountain. Has a welcome/info center and bathrooms. Musconetcong river running right thru it. Great all around park.

Nice trail. Kid parks need some attention.

Love it here. Trails are great. Even if some of them get paved a little too much.

Trail maintenance could be better but over all great park

Great place to camp and hike

Great place to camp outside the city

This was a clean and very pretty park. There is a river stream right on camp grounds where we could fish and dip our feet. Our site was nice and spacious. The rangers were friendly and helpful. Although there we quiet hours, we had no problem keeping our camp fire on late as well as play music quietly. All of us really enjoyed our weekend here. We would definitely come back!

Nice hike in the woods, mostly shade. Crazy horseflies!

Always love going there but parking and the road along the river has way too many pot holes. Inconvenient and dangerous. Please repair.

Great and they have bathrooms!

Beautiful public park! There is a shabby old playground, but if you keep walking up, there is also a much nicer newer playground. It is a very scenic, peaceful, relaxing place. They also offer camping. We smelled some kids smoking pot in the woods near the playground, and then get into a car and drive away (badly), so perhaps the police should do some more patrols in the park.

Amazing place for camping.

Beautiful place to walk and just relaxe

Quiet state park. Campsites are a little close together. Good trout fishing

A beautiful place to walk, run, picnic, swim or just spend the day with nature. Id recommend it highly if I wasnt worried youd all come.

Some nice hiking trails along the river and facilities like picnic tables, playgrounds, and camping.

Great camp sites.

Very unique place. lots of hiking paths - very well marked. Picnik tables and grills available.

Nice river in front of the parking lot with a picnic area. Many trails for hiking or mountain biking. Good workout either way depending on which trail you use. Follow the river past the parking lot to get to the playground for the kids. There is also a camping area here if you want to spend the night to explore.

Love this place. Nice and quiet.

One of my favorite parks to visit, when I am in the area for doctor appointments.

Really good nature here
