Skylands Region

The Skylands Region (simply known as Skylands) is a region of New Jersey located in the north-west parts of the state. It is one of seven tourism regions established by the New Jersey State Department of Tourism; the others are Gateway Region, Greater Atlantic City Region, the Southern Shore Region, the Delaware River Region, the Shore Region, and the Central Jersey Region.

The Skylands Region officially encompasses Morris, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and Somerset counties. The area features uplifted land, rolling hills and mountainous characteristics of North Jersey. The region contains 60,000 acres (240 km2) of state parkland and a diverse geography filled with lakes, rivers, and picturesque hills, known for its protected water resources and farmland. Development in this expanded definition is tightly regulated.

This region is considered by Köppen to be Humid Continental (Dfb).
