(from Google)This beautiful nature preserve offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The miles of scenic trails are well-marked and range from easy walks to more challenging hikes, making it enjoyable for beginners and seasoned hikers alike. The peaceful waterfalls, lush forests, and stunning overlooks create a tranquil atmosphere that feels far away from the city. It’s the kind of place you can return to again and again, each time discovering new trails and experiences. Whether you’re out for exercise, photography, or just a peaceful day outdoors, South Mountain Reservation is an absolute must-visit.
Really long hiking areas. They got a cool waterfall here. Can walk on the top of it also. Got in so many steps in. Some trials go pretty steep also. Came the day after a pretty big storm!!!! Trees fell everywhere.
Love the beautiful and peaceful sceneries. Perfect location for a one-day trip! Yellow trail has significant slopes and is very rocky, a bit more demanding to hike than expected; blue trail on the other hand is perfect for me! Will definitely come back for another visit in the future!
Really great spot. Alot of trails to follow, so much green that enchants to the beauty of this place. Heads up bugs will be a meanace and will continuously bothersome, wish the flow of water was much stronger the falls would have been amazing if it was.
Went for a hike on July 4 with the kids. It’s a very convenient location from NYC, literally get off the NJ transit at Millburn stop ($10/one way) and walk over to the entrance. They have many routes and can be challenging, the hike is nice, passing little creeks and falls. Hopefully we can hike all the way up to the zoo next time. A perfect 1 day trip from NYC, and downtown is also around the corner to get coffee and food, very accessible location for an outdoor fun day. And it was our first ever summer hike, though not as pretty as an autumn day colors, but greenery is beneficial too and not be stuck to the phone/scrolling/social medias. Highly recommend.
