Mount Tammany
A rocky peak on the New Jersey side of the Water Gap, where the Red Dot Trail leads to a summit overlooking the Delaware River. It is one of the most popular short hikes near New York.
Mount Tammany rises to about 480 meters on the eastern side of the Water Gap, within New Jersey. The Red Dot Trail begins at a parking lot beside I-80. The route covers about 2 km one way, is steep and rocky, and takes roughly an hour to reach the lookout rock. From there you can see Mount Minsi across the river and the winding Delaware River. For a loop, descend on the Blue Dot Trail, which makes the full hike about 3 to 4 hours. Admission is free. The parking lot fills early on weekends, so wear grippy hiking shoes and take care on wet rock after rain.
