High Mountain Park Preserve - Part of the trail

I visited this trail for the first time and was actually quite surprised at how good of a hike it…read morewas. I haven't heard much about it so I didn't expect much. Upon arrival there is a small parking lot, with a kiosk and the usual map of the trails. I used primarily the red and yellow trails to reach the top of the mountain. The view is nice, with a little bit of obstruction due to the trees. On a clear day you can easily see New York City. At the top of the mountain there is also a star with lights on it that I believe was donated. In addition to this, there is a large rock with the American flag painted on it. These are two little interesting things to see in addition to the view. The hike itself was fairly easy, with one steep section before reaching the top. I would say it is definitely a good hike if you live nearby and want to go for a hike without taking a longer drive. The one negative, is that in some areas the trails are not properly marked and can be a little confusing. This doesn't seem to be too big of an issue because it seems they all end meeting back together at some point.

In high school we used to have keg parties on top of the mountain. In college fraternities and…read moresororities would have events in these woods too. You can follow the trails or there's other ways up the mountain. You can ride your mountain to the top of the mountain or through to the Franklin lakes preserve but there's a lot of area where trees are down or there is too much water. There's a great view and plenty of space once you get to the top of the mountain. You can find "buttermilk falls" by the North Haledon entrance to the college.

Come here for a quick workout . You can do 2 miles and see horses and other wildlife. This place is…read moresecure there's camera surveillance. Such a great place to come and relax. They also have fitness bars to do pull-ups however I'm not at that level yet.

Happy New Year friends!…read more 2026 is my year (I say this every year) and I wanted to center my well-being today. So I joined my body affirming hiking group (ask about us!) for our Jan. 1 First Day Hike to Garret Mountain. Imagine our collective surprise when we woke up to a phantom overnight snowstorm! Still we persisted. Our group of 6 was suited and hiking booted for the wooded trails only to discover a thick layer of ice under and over the rocks headed into the forests. Even our microspikes wouldn't have been much help due to the steep declines. So we backtracked and decided to walk the auto loop instead. We got a mile into our 3 miles and Passaic County PD came around and announced the park was closing due to ice and dangerous conditions. So we walked back up to the auto lookout and headed out. 2 of 3 miles wasn't bad considering that I was cold in places I've never been cold before, and had just said to my friend, "I have a bad feeling about this hike today" right before we had to come out of the woods due to ice. Listen to your intuition! I know this park will be stunning in spring so I can't wait to return. The mountain views and gorgeous NYC skyline are not to be missed. Keep in mind: -The Tower was closed for maintenance so check before you go -Microspikes are a must in the winter - and even then... -It's a good 7-8 degrees colder up high in the park. 22 felt like 15. -the wildlife does not gaf. The deer stepped to us as if WE were the exhibit. Love that for them tbh.

Beautiful park with some waterfalls. It's not a big park acts literally all right there you can…read morewalk around it it takes about 5-10 min longer if your taking pictures. Parking to find was a little hard but I'm not from here so there may have been parking somewhere for the park. Very nice glad I got to see it. Recommend to visit if your in area but nothing major to go out of your way to visit.

Today was the Paterson Preservation Fair with great tours, information tables, activities, and…read morefood. When I first moved north, a friend took me to The Falls. We parked in back and walked through the park, which I now know as Mary Ellen Kramer Park. It was sad and depressing then. Lots of garbage and not inviting. Over the last two years it has come along. New signs, tables, better grounds maintenance. The two buildings on the property still need some love and new roofs, but it's getting there. After checking out the tables, I took the Paterson Great Falls tour. It introduced me to the original mill house and Raceway across the street. A waterway that diverted part of the Passaic towards the bustling silk mills. I had never noticed either before. The tour ended at the Paterson Museum. Great exhibitions on baseball, the silk trade, and the Wright airplane engine factory. Next, I took a tour of Hinchliffe stadium, the newly revamped local home of minor-league baseball. After that, and this was my favorite, I took a tour of Lambert Castle. It's on Garret Mountain, and is still under reconstruction, but what an amazing place! History, architectural details and a beautiful view. Coming back to the park, there was a food truck with hotdogs and hamburgers. I sat at a picnic table and enjoyed the cool breeze while watching families have fun. The Park is definitely getting the facelift and attention that this historically important area needs. Can't wait for the construction along the Passaic River is finished and the walking trails are usable. It was a great event!

Came here for our son's little flag football league sponsored by nfl play 60. There's practice and…read moregames throughout Sunday's and kids are group by age group and into nfl named teams. Overall, our son loves it. He's having fun on the field. The park also has a basketball court which is great to keep others (such as parents or siblings) entertained. There's a trail to walk across the field. I haven't yet ventured it but when I do, I'll be sure to update this post. There a huge golf course next to the baseball field. At the field are a few bleachers but recommend that if you're here to watch a game, bring your own folding chair and an umbrella. The sun can be very brutal here in the afternoon. There's plenty of parking here. The only annoyance is when parents create their own parking lane nearby the field entrance blocking the large entry way into the field. Unfortunately, there's always that one parent but that's not the park's fault. The restrooms are available at the park but it's locked. Not cool so not had to take 1 star away!

We came here to this park because they hold practice and games for the NFL play 60 flag football…read moreleagues. Its a youth league only until the 8th grade. Its my son's first year so we don't know how competitive the league is yet. We just want our son to get some exercise and have some fun in the process. Its a nice park with parking and its across from a lake in Wayne. Its right off of route 23 near a fire house. They have a baseball field which is used for the football fields as well. There is also a bathroom station right next the field but was locked when I tried to use it. On the side of the field and parking lot, there is a gated basketball full court. While the kids practice you can play basketball or shoot around. I'm sure it will get busier once the weather gets better.
