Jenny Jump State Forest sits on a ridge above the Warren County farmland. The Summit Trail climbs over rocks and roots to several overlooks, and other routes lead to Ghost Lake and a small cave on its far shore.

Trails are well marked and rarely crowded, especially on weekdays. Leashed dogs are welcome.
