| The
view from High Point Monument, at 1,803 feet
above sea level, is a spectacular panorama
of rich farmland and forest, soft hills and
lush valleys in three states. The blue line
of the Delaware River divides the verdant ridges
of New Jersey from those of Pennsylvania. High
Point offers superb trails for hikers and skiers
and quiet spots for campers and anglers.
The land for High Point State Park, donated
by Colonel Anthony R. and Susie Dryden Kuser,
was dedicated as a park in 1923. The pleasant
landscaping was designed by the Olmsted Brothers
of Boston, a prominent landscape architectural
firm of that time. The brothers were the
sons of the eminent Frederick Law Olmsted,
who designed Central Park.
