A friend and I are going out on an overnight soon, and will end up on the trailhead on route 565. I need to find exactly where this is so I can tell my husband where to pick us up. Can anyone tell me just where on 565 it is?

To clarify, this is Susex County route 565 in north Jersey, justed before Pockuck Mtn. (southbound).
Hello Victoria. Tell your husband to go east on NJ 23 past Sussex. County 565 is Glenwood Road. This is the first major county road after Sussex (NJ 284). Make a left off of 23 onto 565. Go north past the junction with Deer Mountain Road (County 641). Then start looking at local streets and you will see Mango Drive on your right. Then the AT crosses 100 yards beyond. Parking here might be difficult. I would go over Pochuck Mountain and have him park at the entrance to the AT boardwalk on County 517 - plenty of spaces (parallel parking). By the way, 565 is just before Pochuck Shelter northbound. It is just down the hill (thus after Pochuck Mt.) from the shelter southbound.
How are you doing? Hiked with you and your pug this past summer to Wildcat Shelter. I hope your dog graduated the dog training camp!

We got caught parking there once and got a huge fine. Just a word of warning.
