Vernon Twp. New Jersey Real Estate

Few townships in the Northeast are able to bill themselves as a “four season recreational community,” which is a modest statement for Vernon.  Most of these premier recreational facilities are located off Route 94 at the Great Gorge Resort.  This four-season playground encompasses an amusement center, the Vernon Valley Ski Area, a golf course, a shopping village, picnic areas, and a health spa among its many attractions.  Vernon also features a portion of Waywayanda State Park and the City of Newark Watershed.  Offering a genuine “vacation lifestyle” in close proximity to bustling urban centers, Vernon is one of the largest and most heavily populated of Sussex County municipalities.  Many of the area’s lakefront communities swell in the summer months with a significant influx of seasonal residents and visitors.  Camping, hiking, skiing, golfing, swimming, tennis clubs, athletic fields, sports leagues, and picnic areas are some of the activities and facilities for leisure hours.
