The Mount Tammany Fire Road is an unpaved {{convert|4.5|mi|km|adj=on}} road on the eastern ridgeline of Kittatinny Mountain from Upper Yards Creek Reservoir to Mount Tammany, the {{convert|1527|ft|m|adj=on}} prominence on the New Jersey side of the Delaware Water Gap. The fire road, located within Worthington State Forest, is maintained as a firebreak and access road for wildfire suppression efforts by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.[1] There are three helispots along the fire road used by the Forest Fire Service. The Mount Tammany Fire Road was constructed as a dozer line created after the 1976 Dunnfield Creek fire on Kittatinny Mountain which consumed over {{convert|2000|acres|sqkm}} of forests from April 18 to April 22, 1976.[2] Today, the road is often used as part of a loop with the Appalachian Trail, Sunfish Pond Fire Road, Dunnfield Creek trail and other trails by hikers visiting the Delaware Water Gap.[3][4] The Mount Tammany Fire Road connects with the Blue Dot Trail, Red Dot Trail, Turquoise and Taylor Trails on Mount Tammany.[1] Locations
