Nice wide path around the bottom lake and a preserved meadow area. Visitors can extend their walk and go up to the second level leading to another large lake. 🐕🦺🐾This is an ideal place for dogs to have fun retrieving Toys/Sticks from the water. The top lake is about 1/2- 3/4 of a mile in length. It's extremely Rocky around the lake trail and not very enjoyable to hike.✔️ However there is one OK path that climbs upward from where the lake first appears and it's on the Left Side of the lake. ⬅️ It's primarily a dirt path.
🔭🥾⚠️However I recently wanted to climb it and discovered it's been degraded by the worst Rain erosion ever seen in 12 years. I Need to Notify the Park Rangers about this.!! Packed dirt is needed here and at portions of the bottom path Too!

Well maintained and picturesque. Perfect blend of both accessible, yet peaceful. Still sufficiently rural and rugged with some nice routes around water.
I went here for a hike with a friend several weeks ago. Very impressive place. If you live in Bergen county, I highly recommend it.
Great trails! A large portion the trail is on wide gravel paths that are easy to follow. The reservoir adds a great water feature. The little waterfall is a nice detour. Lots of great trails. Many dogs though.
Very pleasant hike. Waterfall area is serene. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful forest
Nice place for a short hike , the scene is pretty and it’s dog friendly . Parking sometimes is hard , depending on the time you get there . Very crowded after 12 noon . It’s pretty .
Lovely reservation with plenty to do, one of my go to places on a nice weekend. Plenty of hiking for all skill levels with some rewarding views at every trail. Lots of water and beautiful photo taking opportunities
It's a popular place for hiking and fishing so on busy days parking is difficult, but most of the time is not an issue. *Note to make sure to use tick spray both on yourself and the pets.* It has a nice walking path around the lake and a waterfall trail, which is great a few days after the rain. I spotted a bear in the back of the lake (on the right side in the bushy area) when walking around the lake during the evening, so this is something to be aware of. It has an upper reservoir where people often take their dogs to splash in the water, but be aware that there are no safety rails where the water overflows, close to where dogs and kids splash in the water and that always scares me. Additionally, this may look like a relatively small park, but you can easily get lost and in some areas if you go down the hill by taking left instead of right due to phone GPS not recognizing direction, it's going to be extremely difficult to go back up that hill. So make sure to lookup trails first prior to going in deep, and it's best to bring a map for safety. The best part of most of the areas I've been to has cellphone reception.
