For those looking for New Jersey 2024 Solar Eclipse Resources, here is a great start and guide. This article will provide state park information to provide assistance and a centralized place for this information to know where to best view the 2024 solar eclipse.
The majority of New Jersey will be covered in some fashion due to its small size and location with totality greater than 80%, as the total duration for the entire state will be at least 2 hours and 20 minutes of at least 84% coverage. Although it won’t experience 100% totality, New Jersey will have a great 2024 Solar Eclipse view with nearly 50% of the parks having greater than 90% totality.
The time shown are in EDT, or eastern time. The New Jersey State Parks can be found at https://www.njparksandforests.org. Camping reservations can be made through https://www.njportal.com/DEP/NJOutdoors and open up 11 months in advance.
