GATEWAY REGION

Along New Jersey’s northeastern border lies the Gateway Region, rich in culture and history and just minutes to New
York City. When in the region you will have the opportunity to visit Ellis Island and the majestic Statue of Liberty, world
class golf courses, New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, and Thomas Edison’s home in West Orange.

The Gateway regions offers many opportunities for exploring the great outdoors. Discover the jagged cliffs of the
Palisades looming 530 feet above the Hudson River. Enjoy the Great Falls of Paterson, where the roar of the water
plunging 70 feet into its stone chasm can be heard several city blocks away.
