(from Google)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.
