About Us

The Paulinskill Valley Trail (27 miles) and the Sussex Branch Trail (20 miles) are part of Kittatinny Valley State Park. The tracks have been removed from these rail trails, leaving a pleasant cinder bed path. Except at a few road crossings, the trails are level and offer easy walking, cycling, and horseback riding. Anyone interested in nature or railroad history will enjoy using these two rail trails.

Get Involved 

The PVTC schedules hikes/XC skiing/horse back riding/bike tours, and other group events through out the year. Generally, events begin at 10am, and meetings at 7:30pm. Call the PVTC at 908-684-4820 for details, or the activity leaders as their names are posted. Events begin at either Footbridge Park, Route 94, Blairstown, or Warbasse Junction, Route 663, 1/2 mile south of Route 94 in Lafayette. Meetings are held the 4th Tuesday of the month at various homes, and that information is available from the PVTC President, or call Kittatinny Valley State Park at 973-786-6445.
