Washington Rock

Pamela Greenfield

Wonderful area to explore. Peaceful and quiet. My body felt strong while hiking around here. I would stay it is easy to medium level to get to Washington Rock.

Incredible view great walking and hiking trails and paved track

Fabulous park for a quick hike or stroll. You can walk up from near the library or park by the dog run (a bit over a mile each way). Sweeping views of Millburn and Maplewood, Manhattan and Staten Island.

A part of South Mountain we don't usually visit. Tons of parking, both paved and natural trails, a sculpture park and dog park, and many scenic spots with seeming views out to infinity (or at least the NYC skyline). Even though it is situated within mere minutes of civilization, you are sufficiently isolated as to not hear the sounds of any of the cars driving by on the many roadways visible from the scenic overlooks (though the sound of occasional planes overhead we're still audible). Benches abound to sit and rest along the paved Crest Trail. An oasis of tranquil natural peace nestled right in the heart of suburbia.
