Its name is derived from the birds of prey that nest in the area. The location is also known for its winding roads and scenic overlooks in the Delaware River Valley." "New York State Route 97, which traverses the site, was originally a one lane dirt road beginning in 1859. It was paved between 1931-1933 and subsequently dedicated in 1939, and rededicated on September 21, 2002, as part of the "Upper Delaware Scenic Byway", according to a historical marker placed by the Town of Deerpark, where Hawk's Nest is located. The cautionary speed limit on the Hawk's Nest portion of Route 97 is 25 miles per hour (40 km/h); however, the actual speed limit is 55 mph." Truly Amazing

Not sure why there aren't more reviews regarding High Point, but it's a time when I really, really…read morewish I could post photographs (although there are some provided on the main page that give an approximation of the beauty of the place). My coming here yesterday was completely unexpected. I grew up in Wayne, down Rt. 23 (which is supposedly now known as "the heroin highway"), and I've had some exposure to this upstate region over the decades (I can just barely remember my father bringing me to Stokes State Forest as a kid; I went camping at "Camp Silver Lake" with "Indian Guides" when I wasn't much older--- I think the camp/lake was at Hardyston; and I went with family once to the spot near Port Jervis where NJ/NY/PA meet). I met up with an old friend, and we stopped at the Sound Exchange on Rt. 23 in Wayne. Spent money on CD's (Moby Grape for me; Johnny Thunders for him), and then asked each other, "What next? What do we do now?" I remembered that driving north on Rt. 23, once you get past the seemingly endless mini malls and the burgeoning congestion...usually up past Butler and Kinnelon...the scenery becomes quite extraordinary (I've been told the area resembles Scotland in parts) and...for me, at least...therapeutic. If I ever feel close to whatever God(s) might exist, it's invariably when I'm out enjoying the loveliness and grandeur of nature. It was brutally hot, though, and I was ready to pack it in at some point near Sussex (which resembled a ghost town), when my friend suggested, "We're close to High Point. How about High Point?" I wasn't enthused. He mentioned that he had been there with his ex-wife (I guess there's a reason we're hanging out bored together at a record store buying CDs like aimless adolescents and then driving numb up a scenic highway...2 middle aged men...on a glorious Summer afternoon; he's got ex-wives, I've got ex-girlfriends, we've got too much time on our hands, limited money in our pockets, just above a half tank of gas in the car, not enough interests or stimulating hobbies to occupy ourselves with, no noble, altruistic activities to inspire ourselves with..etc...etc...but I'm not entirely sure what the reason(s) is(are), and why depress myself further by continuing this line of thought? Why indeed?), and she (and he) had loved it. I replied, "Ok, Ok." I figured it was easier to comply than try to formulate a reason why we shouldn't. Did I mention how enervating the heat was? We drove up bucolic mountain roads until we reached a toll booth. My first thought was, "I'm not paying out money for this." But it was after 4pm, and there was no admission charged after 4. Again, we drove on rolling mountain roads, past people picknicking and cooking food (the smell was intoxicating). There was a beautiful lake surrounded by pine-covered mountains, with people swimming. And then we reached the area where the High Point Monument towered above. A steady breeze was blowing, and the brutally hot day suddenly felt Fall-like, even chilly, despite the sunshine (I have to wonder if it's like that all the time? I guess it is). Off to one side was PA. Off to the other was NY. Over that way was NJ. Which one was which? I couldn't tell; I had been completely disoriented by our ride. I figured the side with the little toy village down below (Port Jervis?) was probably NY. But it didn't really matter. We were presented with a panorama of splendid, natural beauty, awe-inspiring and majestic, stretching out as far as the eye could see. (By the way, there are "Tower Viewers" available if you want to bring the scenery in closer...they charge a quarter for about a minute of magnification...but you really don't need them.) Even the man-made tower jutting up into the sky inspired awe, and I'm less moved by the constructions of man than I am by the constructions of nature. The tower (or monolith, or obelisk) was closed, so we couldn't climb our way to the top, but that was fine (especially for my friend, who, despite his initial enthusiasm, did not want to climb several flights of stairs to the top of a stone tower). Still, I'd like to come back earlier some day and make that climb and see the view from the top. I can't imagine how much more impressive it could be, but I'm motivated now. We stayed for several minutes, enjoying it. What had started out as a day of half-hearted, desultory boredom had ended extremely well. And riding back down Rt 23 with Moby Grape playing on the car's CD player was the icing on the cake. A dull day had become one that I'll remember with fondness for a long time. I fully expect to come back here. And I recommend it to anyone with a beautiful summer day on their hands, and no idea of how to spend it. I also heartily recommend it to those who have better, more constructive ways to spend their time than I usually do. It seems like a great place to bring your family if you grow tired of the seashore (and its numbing traffic jams). In other words, check this place out.

Restored to house some small businesses, it was nice taking a stroll through and also looking at the various exhibits regarding the building and area's history. One of the first shops we visited was "Uplift" which is right there when you walk in. The woman who was working (maybe the owner) was so informative about the building and surrounding areas and really gave us some great recommendations. She also showed us some of the products she sells and let us try on some lotion. She was great with my son who is always a bit reserved at first, but she got through his shell. Great shop, we purchased a few things that have now become our favorites, most of all, that lotion we tried! If you go downstairs to "The Boiler Room" which is a private event space (do not go in if you see a lot going on, most likely a private party), if the room is empty you can go in (gorgeous space) and through the door to the outside to take a look at the beautiful waterfall behind the building! There is also a cafe steps away outside of the building where you can refresh with a quick snack and beverage or a sandwich!

Absolutely Awesome Experience!!!…read more Young or old this place is simply a fun experience to enjoy if you're in the immediate area. If you're a hardcore horse racing enthusiast then no travel distance will keep you from this track, however if you're the average (or below) race track goer and you live in the immediate area you just have to stop in and enjoy one of these race events. Even if this type of thing doesn't interest you, it's actually really fun to attend/watch. It was my first experience going to a race track, never really considered it my "cup of tea" and only visited because my young daughter absolutely loves horses; even taking horse riding lessons. We ventured off to one of these local races and we both loved it. My daughter naturally loved it because of her love for horses and I absolutely enjoyed it and have no real interest in horses or racing but it was SOOO much fun to watch. Crowds go crazy as the horses round the corner toward the finish line and you can't help but get fired up by the contagious crowd cheering! Epic feeling and rush as everyone cheers as horses cross finish line. For a small entrance fee you get to enjoy the races taking any seat you'd like and pretty much all the seats are great; no bad seats (i.e. nose bleeds). Local vendors were present as well for family fun entertainment. Various vendors setup to sell or donate items. This year the local ice cream vendor, Trail Side Treats, was in attendance donating FREE ice cream to attendees which was so awesome of that local vendor to do. Food, drinks and even beer are available for sale at the concession stands. Even if you don't care for this type of event or never even thought you'd be remotely interested, I DARE you to try it because it's really cool. For the cost of entrance skip your morning Starbucks and try this place out. Fun people won't regret trying it while those lame boring folks will simply dislike it just like everything else that keeps their lives boring. Haha! I double dog dare you to visit and try it!
