Andover Junction Trail is a short, easy hike in Kittatinny Valley State Park in New Jersey, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 0.8 miles long and rises about 25 feet from a low point of 580 feet to a high of 649 feet, making it a gentle out-and-back that can be done in under an hour. The trail is open to both horses and bikes, so riders and equestrians can join the walk. For the most comfortable conditions, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Several other trails sit close by. Hemlock Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and Glacial Trail and Explorer Trail are each about half a mile off. Climbers can find bouldering Northwest NJ roughly a mile away.
