Richard W. DeKorte Park

As of Feb 28th 2026 - please note that the Marsh discovery trail is closed - unsure until when. And they also had locked down the saw mill trail.

Amazing discovery in my neighborhood .. Watched beautiful sunset .. scenic view . well maintained clean trail .. Simply loved it .

I’m amazed this park used to be a landfill for NJ State. I’m hoping it wasn’t a superfund site. Regardless, the state converted this place into a park with fantastic views. Great trail to take a hike or a stroll with your dog(s), or bird watching to reset your mind and relax.

What a fantastic spot for a walk, exercise, and enjoying nature! There are several kid-friendly trails, including a looped boardwalk, and you’ll see plenty of birds along the way. The views, especially at sunset, are absolutely stunning! Can catch a glimpse of NYC skyline. It’s never crowded, making it a truly peaceful escape. I recommend bringing a friend, as you can’t see around the corner on some paths. The buildings are closed as of now.

I could've sworn I'd reviewed this place years ago, but apparently, I haven't—time to fix that! This nature trail is truly a gem for anyone who loves being surrounded by the beauty of the great outdoors. Here's why it deserves all the praise: - ✅ **The perfect place to walk amidst nature's wonders.** - ✅ **Stunning marshland teeming with life.** You'll find a breathtaking array of birds throughout the year. - ✅ **Spring and fall are pure bliss.** With hundreds of species visiting across all seasons, the sights and sounds are unforgettable. - ✅ **An excellent introduction to nature for kids.** It's a fantastic place for families to connect with the natural world. A heartfelt shout-out to the staff who work tirelessly to keep this place thriving. **You're doing an incredible job, and it shows—thank you!**
