Vernon Township is located in the rolling hills of Sussex County, approximately one hour from New York City. As of the 2000 census, it had a population of 24,686, making it the largest township in the county (by population.) Highland Lake and Vernon Valley are census-designated places and unincorporated areas located within Vernon Township. Home to a ski resort and water park and spa, Vernon Township offers four seasons of outdoor recreation. In winter, enjoy world class skiing and snowboarding, tubing, sledding, ice skating and cross-country skiing. Summer brings swimming, kayaking, fishing and boating, mountain biking and horseback riding. Vernon Townships own water park has 26 rides and attractions, and part of the Appalachian Trail goes right through Vernon and neighboring Warwick. Vernon Township is also home to award winning golf resorts and tennis courts. Autumn is another great time to visit Vernon Township for the beautiful fall foliage and farm tours - apple and pear orchards, pumpkins and berries. A farmers market is held in nearby Warwick Valley every Sunday, May through October, where local farmers, bakers, wine producers, restaurateurs, musicians and artisans participate. So whether for a weekend getaway from the city, or a longer stay, Vernon Township has something for everyone - minus the crowds and traffic.
