Skylands High Point Township

Lots & Land in Montague, NJ

Welcome to Montague, New Jersey's northernmost township, home to High Point — the state's highest elevation — amid the forests of the Skylands.

Montague is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey, occupying the state's far northwest corner in the Skylands region. It is the northernmost municipality in New Jersey and the only one that borders both New York and Pennsylvania, sitting along the Delaware River near Port Jervis, New York, and Matamoras, Pennsylvania. Its population was 3,792 at the 2020 census, spread across roughly 45 square miles — one of the lowest densities in the state. Montague is best known for High Point, the highest elevation in New Jersey at 1,803 feet above sea level, which rises within High Point State Park on the township's boundary with Wantage. The 220-foot High Point Monument crowns the summit, offering panoramic views across three states toward the Poconos, the Catskills, and the Wallkill River Valley. Most of the township is public land: High Point State Park, Stokes State Forest, and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area together cover the majority of its area, making Montague a centerpiece of New Jersey's most scenic and protected countryside. Life in Montague is quiet and rural. The Montague Township School District operates a single K-8 school of about 300 students, and high schoolers attend High Point Regional High School through a sending-receiving arrangement. U.S. Route 206 runs through the township, and the nearby tri-state towns provide shopping and services. For buyers, Montague offers forested acreage, mountain views, river access, and genuine seclusion — a rare rural corner of the New York metropolitan area where open space, not development, dominates the landscape, and where outdoor recreation is the organizing rhythm of daily life.
