New Jersey – Trail Flooding – Vernie Swamp Area
New Jersey
Reroute/Detour
Update
03/22/2023
The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference (NYNJTC) has installed a short detour to avoid flooding caused by beaver activity in Vernie Swamp in New Jersey, just south of Unionville, New York (approx. NOBO mile 1,346.3). The detour uses two short, temporary trails connecting to Mt. Salem Road. Total distance of the detour is around 1/3 of a mile.
Hikers should utilize the detour until flood waters recede. We will update this notice when we have more information.
