Skylands Region
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Skylands Region refers to an area in Northwest New Jersey that is part of the New York - New Jersey Highlands, near the borders with New York and Pennsylvania. The area features uplifted land and mountains that are elevated over much of the coastal plain of South Jersey and Central Jersey. The area includes Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex and Warren counties. It is one of six such officially recognized areas, the others being the Greater Atlantic City Region, the Southern Shore Region, the Delaware River Region, the Shore Region and the Gateway Region[1].
The region contains two national parks at its edges, 60,000 acres of state parkland, and a diverse geography filled with lakes, rivers and picturesque hills dotted with farms.
