Buttermilk Falls Trail

This trail begins with a climb to the top of Buttermilk Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in New Jersey. From there, the trail continues to make a steep climb up to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail for spectacular views of the valley below.

At 2.3 km, this is a short, accessible outing suitable for most fitness levels. Expect to complete it in around 31 minutes at a comfortable pace.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
