Speedwell Lake Park

Great spot. The dam is perfect for fall photos. Some areas are starting to change 9.27. I noticed a lot of kids fishing here. We came for the trail. Flat and easy. Just under 4 miles. No bathroom at trailhead. There is parking but it looked to fill up quickly.

Such a clean and peaceful park! Fun for kids to learn how to fish and great to take a morning walk.

Picturesque small park with paved Patriots’ Path running along the lake shore. Small waterfall created by park’s Spillway is probably most photogenic feature of the park, but lake views are gorgeous on the their own merit. Parking lot is gravel, so if you have combined visit with Historic Speedwell, you may want to stay in their paved lot. It’s literally 3-4 mins to get to the park from there.

Beautiful park to visit all year long. Amazing views! The park includes a damn with water fall and walking trails along the Whippany River. My favorite time to visit is the Fall- the colors are spectacular!! Parking on site. Fishing allowed.

It is a beautiful little park where you can jog, bike, walk, and fish small trout. At the entrance, you will see swings along with the jungle gym. The parking lot is unorganized and unmarked. This park has good potential, but serious investment is needed to make it like state park standard. I found the walking path dirty and benches around the lake dirty and needed some attention. People use this park for a dog routine business. 🐕
