    Map of the trail
    Anrana S.

    I really don't get all these 5 star reviews. This was described as a 1.2 mile loop around a pond. What they fail to tell you is that you can only see the pond from 1 or 2 lookouts. The rest of the time you are on an eroded muddy slippery trail staring at invasive weeds. Anyplace where you could venture down pond side, there are signs reminding you to stay on trail. There are quite a few benches along the trail. But they don't have a view of anything. Since the invasive grasses tower over your head. So you can sit on a bench and pretend you are in a fern gully when the reality is that you are in a weed fully. This trail was a total waste of time and shoes.

    This is a beautiful nature reserve, in Allendale New Jersey. The thing of it is if you're driving down Franklin Turnpike he might not even know that it's there. The only indicator is a patch of cars in a tiny little parking lot. Fantastic trail to take the kids tons of wildlife. You'll see all sorts of beautiful birds frogs, turtles hundreds of native plant species everywhere. Amazing photographs to be taken especially with the green algae that covers the pond.

    Tranquility.

    Had an extra hour before our flight. Beautiful and tranquil nature trail. Highly recommended.

    Cool walking path. Only a mile long with no real elevation and perfect for people with small children. Just watch out for the roots popping through the trail

    Neat little nature preserve! Trail was moderately trafficked on a sunny October Sunday, but the preserve was still quiet and peaceful. Trail is mostly flat, but hiking shoes/boots are recommended due to mud and roots. You'll see lots of turtles, swans, frogs, and more. Worth a visit.

    what a cool spot for a short walk! We had a nice, not too hot day and after gps- ing something that doesn't really have an address, we saw a few cars parked on the side of the road and assumed that was the entrance. We parked in one of the nearby blocks and walked across the street. We picked up a little map at the entrance and away we went. We saw turtles, woodpeckers, herons, chipmunks and we came THISCLOSE to a momma deer and 3 babies. It was totally awesome. There are a few lookouts you can climb up and check out the view, so nice and romantic! :) I would definitely go back, it was quiet, serene and smelled so lovely, I loved walking the path and just really enjoying the sights and smells of everything. I don't know what took me so long to get there, but I am glad I finally did!

    This is a beautiful nature reserve. Nice trail. A little bumpy in places, but manageable. There's a ton of poison ivy, so watch out! At the main entrance off of franklin turnpike by pittis, there is a small stand with info about the farm, how to identify poison ivy, and a map.

    It was hard to capture the dragonflies but this one posed for me at the right time

    Nice park for the beginner or more experienced hiker or just someone who wants to have some peace…read moreand quiet outdoors for a couple of hours. The parking lot is big and there is a bathroom, which is appreciated. I took a look at the trail map before I left to find one of a decent length, so check out options, but the trails are well-marked. Once you get past the main train next to the lake, you can find yourself pretty alone except for another occasional hiker, but you can vibe with nature, see a waterfall, and just breathe in the fresh air. Some of the trails are long, but I paced one that was only a couple of miles and still got some nice scenery and a lot of steps in. It's great this park isn't too far from the urban areas of Northern NJ and there are many trail options so you can visit again and experience something new. There's also a sign for trout fishing if that's your thing. Check it out if you want to get away for the day.

    This was my first time and what a blast! What I love about…read morehiking is that there's so many cool and magical places that you can't get to by car. For decades I've driven up 287 and wondered what was in all the hills and mountains and today I finally got to see. I met up with my local plus size hiking group for our last hike of the year and Ramapo was a first for all of us despite being longtime New Jerseyans. We did the Macmillan trail and clocked about 3.5 miles total. We went the long trail around the reservoir and then dipped back down the waterfall trail. Very thankful we did it that way - I think all the stairs on the waterfall trail would have been treacherous given the conditions and a bit demoralizing. Getting the big hills out the way first and enjoying the lake made the waterfall that much sweeter. So many dogs and kind people on the trail. Trash was almost non-existent. Tons of rocks and logs to sit a spell - but at below freezing temps we kept it moving lol. Highlights: -ample parking (bc it was cold) -giant rocks -waterfalls -exposed slabs -gorgeous vistas -the swan!!

    This is an amazing hike! It's almost all shaded and once you climb the rocks, straight up on blue,…read moreit's quite an easy hike. Guys we hiked blue to purple to blue to orange (which comes back to blue and the parking lot) and it took 2 hours and 3 miles. We met people who thought the whole thing took 45 minutes and had the water to go with that. This is an intermediate hike and you really need the water, as well as trail map or at least pic of trail map, to make it happily. We met so many lost people on the trail. It's not marked as well as you think. Also we took the pup who thought lake at first sight, meant jump. Pro tip; keep them out of the lake. It's full of stagnant water and stinking mud. Your nose will thank me. Instead enjoy the bubbly creek crossing before and after the hike.

    The fam was looking to take advantage of this beautiful fall weather that we have been having. I…read morerecalled doing this hike a number of years ago and enjoyed it, so decided to give it another try. The parking lot was not the biggest, but there seemed to be many spots on the street. Fortunately we were able to find a spot in the lot though. It is dog friendly, so we brought our little guy too. Since the my younger son is only 7 we decided to do the hike (blue trail) to Tripod rock and back, which is about 3 miles. It does have some incline, but didn't receive any complaints about this from the fam. Also there are a bunch of stones on the hiking path, so be careful not to trip. The trail is marked well (apart from one point towards the tripod rock where it splits) so we were able to get to our destination fairly easily. It wasn't too crowded, which was nice.

    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.
