About Branchville

Tucked into northwestern New Jersey’s Sussex County, Branchville is a quiet borough surrounded by rolling hills and nearby Culver Lake. It has the feel of a classic country village, where historic houses and small local businesses branch out from a compact downtown. Living here puts hiking trails, fishing spots, and state parks within a few minutes of home.
