    I always enjoy the peace and serenity of a walk thru Waterloo Village. Early in the morning, very few distractions and plenty of photo ops!

    We went to Waterloo Village because there was supposed to be a farmer's market that Sunday. I was visiting a friend and we thought it would also be nice to see the historic village. Well, the farmer's market was cancelled without notice because of a private event. We were wondering why they didn't make an effort to let people know this online. Seeing the village though was worth it in itself. The grounds are very beautiful with historic houses, greenery, and water. We went into a little museum and they had people, assuming volunteers, tell us about the history. We also went to the Indian village. That was very interesting, because we had 3 different people give us a tour describing different the lives of these early residents. I learned a lot about how they lived.

    It's the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock, so I came here for the Let It All Hang Out 3 day Woodstock mini Festival. Carolyn Coletti Jablonski from the Band CC Coletti put on this 3 day event, along with her husband, and many staff members. They worked around the clock for almost a year getting some of the best tribute bands in the country to come and play. The music was a variety of Rock, Southern Rock, Soul, Dead Music, Blues you name it. There were around 300 vendors, including amount them was food trucks,along with 7 bands a day on many acres of beautiful land and open sky's. People came from all over NJ, NY, PA and parts of the south to attend this fun event. I was a volunteer, which gave me direct access to backstage VIP access of all the areas , and every part of this fun festival. The weather was absolutely perfect, and there was plenty of room to stretch out. Most people brought folding chairs and blankets to watch the bands. Security was everywhere,no one got in without a proper wristband. Parking was $10. There was lots of room to walk around and checkout different vendors who were selling everything from incense, to custom made hats, essential oil's and CBD oil, jewelry, clothing, tapestries, custom painted wall art, adult face painting and body jewelry etc. There was a Yoga tent up on the hill where anyone could go and workout or get instructions. In Field 1 and in the VIP area was a tent set up with with a massage chair or full massage bed from The company A Friend in Knead was set up. In the VIP area this was free. I got a 45 min massage and it was one of the best I've ever had. The outside massage tent did charge. The food trucks were amazing! My two favorites were Twisted Steaks from PA was really good. They served Cheesesteak pretzel which was a twisted artisan pretzel it came with sliced prime ribeye,slow cooked to perfection with caramelized onions, melted mozzerella and provolone cheese. My other favorite food truck was the Log Cabin from Stillwater ,PA.They made some of the best pulled pork I ever had, it was served on a soft bun. I ate from this truck everyday. The owner and staff were so friendly and amazing! I highly recommend this food truck. I also purchased hair accessories from different vendors. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is a tree fell out on the road and it took forever for the power to go back on, so the bands couldn't perform no fault of their own. Also, Waterloo and the state made it very difficult for the event coordinator. Extremely stick place to hold a venue or concert.

    One of the best venues my boyfriend and I have been too! The staff was incredible. Customer service is a huge deal for me and I can not stress enough as a guest the magnificent assistance from this staff. Very accommodating and friendly. They are there for you to have a good time which is what a venue should live by. Food was delicious, cozy venue, and loved all the stations they provided. Excellent!

    This is my family and my dogs favorite place to walk. From the history, from the historic building, to just the walking paths . It is absolutely beautiful.

    It's a shame this place is closed during COVID, I remember coming here as a kid and loving it. Although the buildings/ tours are closed, it's still a great place to see and walk around. Pretty neat history with how old the buildings are. It also looked like there was a venue building that would be nice for a reception or party.

    Pretty day, pretty buildings

    Waterloo Village is a historic site and historic village near Allamuchy State Park. We were there for an event, but the entire park was open, and all the museums and buildings were there for us to check out. It's really quite awesome! There is a lot to see and do, a lot of historic exhibits to check out, like a whole building dedicated to models of the canal, a working mill that's run by the water, and a lot of other fun things. There's also a recreation of a Lenape village, which was also really neat to see. There are lots of nicely graded walking paths there, and the views of the canal are very nice. I can see why there are a lot of weddings held here, it's very picturesque. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    We booked Waterloo Village back in the winter when snow was on the ground -- with having an upcoming spring wedding, we recently went back to our venue at Waterloo and it's what we envisioned! This place is a rustic dream for anyone who loves historian sites, nature and rustic charm!

    Waterloo Village is a partially restored 19th century canal town. Set along the old Morris canal, it's a peaceful, tranquil site with great historical interest. At one time carrying iron ore from Phillipsburg to Jersey city, the Morris Canal helped shape early American History. The locks and inclined plane which allowed boats to traverse the varied terrain can still be seen. There are numerous information boards that explain the site and the community which was built around it. A restored Lenape Village is feature with special programming. Beginning in May 2016, guided tours will be conducted on Saturdays by historic interpreters dressed in period clothing. The Gristmill, Smith's General Store, Rotan Log Cabin and farm site, as well as, the blacksmith demonstrations will be open. It's run by the State of New Jersey. Admission is adults ($5), seniors & 6-12 years ($3), and children under 5 are free. I visited in September 2015 on a Thursday. There was no admission charge. I strolled around on my own visiting the different houses and reading the information boards. I'll be going back once the guided tours are available in May.

    A great place to explore. On this day it was rainy soaked pants and shoes but, I didn't mind it. The rain made everything so green and it was nice to walk and take pictures. It's a shame Some of the old homes are in dyer need of repair. Would love to see them fixed.. Will come again on a sunny day

    I wanted to bring my camera & take some pics,no event, just some pictures of my sister & her bf (who plans to propose) do I need a permit? I am not a professional photographer. If I need a permit do you guys know how much?

    No you do not need a permit. I just attended a 3 day concert there on 8/23-25 everyone walked around with cameras of all kinds

    By all accounts, this town should have been lost to memory years ago, when the Morris Canal ceased operations.

Wesley was amped up after his vaccines so I decided to look for a park where we could eat our lunch and enjoy the spring weather.

An ABUNDANCE of benches. So many beautiful cherry blossom canopies. And dog friendly to boot! We saw elderly couples, teenage friends, young lovers, new moms, athletes, dog dads, people fishing. There's also swimming and aquatics there once the summer rolls around. It was just so perfect.

Concert/big gathering, and Roxbury's Memorial Day Parade and ceremony spot.

From playgrounds to trails, sports fields to peaceful lake views, it offers a bit of everything.

    For what it's worth, this review specifically pertains to a rainy winter hike - I can't comment on…read moremost of the park amenities near the playgrounds, playing fields, etc. And I'm also willing to acknowledge that I likely would have felt more favorably disposed toward this park if we had been there in better weather that didn't give off massive Pacific NW vibes. The dreary conditions were not the park's fault. Loantaka was the site of the annual first of the year hike with a group of noble chums. Interestingly, there was a rival "official" hike being held at the same time by the Boy Scouts of America - their social media announcements (complete with map) ahead of time were very helpful in locating a decent parking area for my compatriots. I don't think I have the ability on Yelp to review the BSA, but their scoutmaster was a gem and several of my chums purchased commemorative pins for the event at their little kiosk. Also, my dad was an Eagle Scout and can start a bonfire in about 30 seconds, so that's something. For the purposes of our adventure, we ended up walking 3.13 miles (assuming an Apple watch was correct, which I'm always dubious about), an out-and-back from the parking lot off Loantaka Way to Kitchell Lake just across the aptly named Kitchell Road. The parking lot was easy to access with plenty of spaces, though it was a bit more crowded by the time we were done. It was very pleasing to see several port-a-potties nearby, and I can report from firsthand experience that they were relatively clean, though the toilet seat in mine was wet and required my first squatting situation of 2022. I could breathe comfortably though, so I think you take that compromise if you can get it. The trails are very well maintained - we were exclusively on paved ones, though it looked like there were a few dirt paths that went off them as well, all of which looked tidy and drama-free. That said, it would have been nice if there were more markers/signage giving us a better idea of where we were. It would be difficult to get authentically lost in this area (I imagine it would take roughly 15 minutes to accidentally stumble across a county highway), but it would have been helpful for our orientation. This year's hike featured an Honorary Young Pup of 6, who was able to handle the adventure with aplomb (and enjoyed spotting the metal tags on the trees). There were also many pooches on the premises, and virtually all seemed to be doodle mixes of some sort - very little variety in this area of Jersey, apparently. If you're looking for decent photo ops, this is not where I'd go; this is a park that I'd use exclusively for very mild cardio/fresh air. There are a few streams on the journey, but nothing to write home about. The pond was pleasant enough, with abundant waterfowl in the distance, but it's hard to get whipped up about scenery that looks like it's straight out of Taylor Swift's Folklore album photo shoot.
