The Trail near Vernie Swamp in New Jersey, just south of Unionville, NY, regularly floods thanks to the hard work of some nearby beavers (approx. NOBO mile 1,346.3). The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference (NYNJTC) has installed a short detour using two short trails connecting to Mt. Salem Road. Total distance of the detour is around 1/3 of a mile.
Hikers should utilize the detour when the A.T. in this area is flooded.
