Hawk Rise Sanctuary

No dogs allowed.

No. It is a nature reserve and also too close to Newark Liberty International Airport.

The supernatural is more of a belief. Some people believe in ghosts, many people don't believe in ghosts. Nonetheless, there is zero evidence of any ghost life or "supernatural" activity. No, there is no "supernatural" occurrences here. Keep in mind this place is built on top of a landfill and is literally surrounded by active chemical industries. You are likely to experience a ghost-like haze depending on weather, chemical reaction, time of day, and other variables. Use your brain to seek truths, it is much more entertaining.

What? This is a public park. Hawks definitely do not perch on people's hands here. This place is not a business that sells interactive experiences. Its public, free for all. Although this place has "Hawk' in its name, and there are lots of birds here, the chances of you seeing a hawk are a mix. You would need some binoculars and patience. I sometimes see them hovering over the landfill mountain..very distant. That said, the Audubon society in NJ sometimes offer *free* guided events to speak a little about the Park's nature. Sometimes they have *free* fun evening events. Google their website to learn more and see their schedule of events. Or, when you visit the park, theres a billboard that has a calendar with planned events. If you're looking for a place that allows you to get close to birds, look at The Raptor Trust in Millington NJ.

I work there next to the park. You are safe there.
