a hiking and biking haven...
Set among a cluster of steep hills, High Bridge offers many delights for visitors. The Union Forge Iron Works opened in 1742 operated until its closing in 1972 and is the longest running, privately held ironworks in the United States.
Its older homes, dramatic church and bridge construction make this town a visual treat to bikers, hikers and those just passing through. Circa, a main street restaurant offers tapas and fine dining as do other of High Bridge’s new eating establishments. Miles of hiking and biking trails begin in High Bridge on the north end of Main Street at the Columbia Trail. The South Branch of the Raritan River, one of the “ten best trout streams” in America, according to Field & Stream, runs through the breathtaking Ken Lockwood Gorge into the quiet serenity of Lake Solitude.
