 Tillman Ravine,
Stokes State Forest, Sussex County
Consisting of over 15,000 acres that
straddle the Kittatinny Ridge in the northwestern corner
of Sussex County, Stokes State Forest qualifies as one of
my favorite locations. But Tillman Ravine, a small area
within the forest, deserves special attention. It is a
natural gorge featuring a series of waterfalls on Tillman
Brook that tumble down the steep western slope of the
ravine toward the Delaware River. A short walk from
either of the two parking areas will lead you to a
magnificent scene that seems to have been magically
transported out of the Pacific Northwest. Rugged rock
outcroppings, towering hemlocks, and delicate flora
surround a wild mountain stream that has spent the last
10,000 years carving this awesome ravine.
