Monument Trail Loop is a 3.5 mile loop trail located in Sussex, New Jersey. The trail is rated as moderate with some uphill hiking. Well marked the Read/Green trail, takes between 2-3 hours.
Did this trail in the tail end of a snowstorm that dumped 6-8 inches, made it challenging. There were high winds at the monument, great views all around when the snow finally stopped, and not a soul in sight. March 2017, park roads weren't cleared at 10 a.m. because it was still snowing, so I couldn't drive any further than Lake Marcia and hiked up from there. Great little hike with some stairs-like sections.
Good start from the back end no at mount it's better l think have a great hike
Visited this area in August. Found nice views from Monument and very vivid nature around it.
Fun hike with a group of Boy Scouts. Parking is close to the monument. Can be steep in spots but fairly easy overall.
I had a good hike. It was a bit challenging but it was a fun trail. I did monument trail but there are many more trails to explore.
It was great. Definitely need a hiking shoe on to do it. The jagged rocks were killing my feet thru my sneakers & the leaves covering the rocks this time of year left me unable to tell what i was stepping down on. Great weather and a great trail w/ beautiful views.
nice hike with plenty of trees and some views
Hiked with the kids! Climbed to the top of the monument - great workout wonderful views
