High Point State Park

High Point State Park was a gift to the people of New Jersey from Colonel Anthony and Susie Dryden Kuser. They donated their 10,000-acre mountaintop estate in 1923 for the creation of a new park so that everyone could enjoy the scenic and recreational opportunities found at the highest elevation in New Jersey.
