4.6 miles roundtrip, moderate trail surface and elevation gain; one slightly difficult rocky descent. This route takes in the glacial erratics of the park plus two overlooks – one to the east where on a clear day you can see NYC, and Lucy’s Overlook which faces west.

BLUE to WHITE to RED(white stripes) to BLUE to WHITE/YELLOW to WHITE to RED to BLUE (not as complicated as it sounds -  its a small park)

Nice spring weather today, sunny but very windy. We’d had a lot of rain, so the wet areas and streams mentioned below may or may not be flowing for you.

There is a visitor center, and a trail kiosk with plenty of trail maps. The map is easy to follow and the trails are very well marked. The parking lot fills up quickly.

Parking: Rt 287 to exit 45. 472 A Boonton Avenue, Montville Township, NJ.  Detailed directions here.
