A Fall Escape to Crystal Springs Resort

Escape the everyday and get away to Crystal Springs Resort for a fall getaway you won't forget. Embrace the vibrant flavors and stunning scenery of the season by exploring our local farms, orchards, and artisan producers on the Crystal Springs Harvest Trail. This is your chance to discover the rich bounty of New Jersey's Skylands and the Warwick Valley Black Dirt Region.

On the Harvest Trail, you can explore, shop, and eat your way through this beautiful part of the country. We’ve curated an unforgettable experience with two distinct trails, each offering a unique way to discover the region's hidden gems:

  • The Vernon Valley and Warwick Trail features some of the area's most popular fall attractions. Route 94 is home to the largest fall festival in New Jersey at Heaven Hill Farm, along with the beloved Pennings Farm Market, Cider House & Orchards.
  • The Pochuck Valley and Pine Island Trail is for those who prefer the road less traveled. This serene route takes you through scenic backroads to discover smaller, charming local spots.

Just a short drive from the resort, your fall adventure is packed with fun experiences, including apple picking, harvest hayrides, and wine and spirits tastings.  To make your experience even more special, you'll receive a locally sourced Harvest Trail Basket filled with hand-selected treats that showcase the best of the region:

  • Harvest Moon Wine from Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery
  • Vodka from Claremont Distillery
  • Local Honey from Lee's Bees
  • Pumpkin Butter from Pochuck Valley Farms
  • Apple Butter from Pennings Farm Market
  • Maple Syrup and Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix from Finding Home Farms
  • Chocolate Fall Leaf Treat and Seasonal Kettle Corn from The Candy Apple Shoppe

Ready to plan your perfect fall escape? Book your stay today and start your journey on the Crystal Springs Harvest Trail.
