About Oxford Mountain Natural Resource Area

A premiere site along the Warren Highlands Trail, the Oxford Mountain Natural Resource Area is a beautiful 349-acre preserve located in the Town of Oxford. The network of trails throughout the forested hillsides offer opportunities for hiking, biking, photography, and hunting. In addition, visitors will encounter various remains of the mining that once took place on this property. While the entire property has long since been reforested, visitors are invited to learn more about Oxford’s rich mining history by visiting Warren County’s iconic Shippen Manor Museum which is located nearby.

The County of Warren is proudly recognized by National Geographic for its support in sustaining and enhancing the unique geographic character of the Scenic, Wild Delaware River Geotourism Region through its commitment to aesthetics, culture, environment, heritage, and the wellbeing of the region’s residents. The Shippen Manor at the Oxford Mountain Natural Resource Area is one of many sites throughout Warren County which has been officially designated as a National Geographic Geotourism Destination.
