Hiking New Jersey: Cape May State Park

In out latest edition of "Hiking New Jersey" we find ourselves in New Jersey's Southern Most point .... Cape May. After you have checked out all the lighthouses in Ocean & Monmouth Counties, why not take a trip to Cape May State Park and see Cape May Lighthouse!

While your checking out this fantastic lighthouse, there are several trails that you can hit and get a few miles in right by the beach. We did a few and put in about 4 miles. The trails are pretty easy and well marked. Lots of wildlife to check out along the way including lots of shore birds. There are several viewing platforms to get a good photo as well.

There is an information center, museum and restrooms at the park. Free admission to park, with a small fee to climb the lighthouse. It's about an hour down the Garden State Parkway from Southern Ocean County.

There is a ton of things to do around Cape May, so make it a day trip and enjoy your hike and sight seeing in Cape May.
