Very accessible from the urban areas and great for day hikers or dog walkers. Its a shame the trails that go around the pond arent well maintained against the cliffside, which can make talking a walk around it difficult. The entire park area is open and in a small valley so it can feel like a refuge from the world while the trails offer a good elevation challenge or an easy stroll to overlooks for a variety of hiking levels. Renting boats in the summer is also a good idea.
Great place for hiking on several trails. Much less crowded than other hiking parks in the area.
This is a nice secluded park with plenty of space to walk around, hang out, or play frisbee.
A little bit of everything one would want in a hike. Ups and downs, rock scrambles, vistas, shade and greenery. The trail isnt terribly difficult (moderate is a reasonable description) and is fun to do in a group or family. The lake provides a nice background for a picnic as well.
Excellent place for a relatively short yet moderately strenuous hike. Trail was pretty easy to follow and offered a nice set of views
Going fishing here was always great but people are littering all over the place. I wish people will pick up after themselves and stop dumping garbage.
Great fall weather hikes, fantastic rocks for kids to climb, easy parking!
Its a calm and good place to have BBQ grill.
Very nice trail with less crowds. Perfect for covid style excersise.
Lovely and clean park with great picnic area and hiking trail
Beautiful, scenic, child friendly. Great for couples or families and singles too
Love this place, not too big. Plenty of parking, clean.
Its a quiet place. Clean and safe
Great park and lots to do but strangely, noone was wearing a mask. Large groups are fine as per nj covid requirements but noone in the entire park work or had masks. Something to be alarmed about
Very well maintained lawns and pathways. Tidy and clean.
Great park for many activities!
Beautiful. People were very respectful of others and social distance!
A great hike!
This is a nice little park with a small lake and some hiking trails. In the summer you can rent boats to row around in. It has a few picnic tables.
Very peaceful, fee walking trails in the woods.
Nice place for a quick hike!!!
Attended a family party, we rented the pavilion and it was PERFECT., it was July hot!!!!!! The pavilion offered plenty of shade, more than enough seating space, the attached bathrooms were clean, and it was easy access to unload cars and set up food, etc.....The pavilion looks out onto a beautiful little lake, and is surrounded by trees. Perfect location for a get together of any kind
Great park, and pet friendly!
I love this park. Thank you Morris County Park Commission. Thriving ecosystem beautiful new dam and well maintained grounds always clean and safe.
Just beautiful.
Saw a bear. It was real neat.
Perfect, clean go back soon
Immaculate and beautiful, great walking paths, hiking, skateboarding, and bicycling. Bring your dog -- on a leash.
Wonderful park with lots of trails to walk. A nice lake on the property and places to have barbecue and tables for picnics.
Beautiful park.
Number 10 place for hiking, picnicking and fishing. Small little picnic area in Kinnelon, NJ. A secret garden. Beautiful lake, great walking pathways, a few benches with BBQ grills, and areas for parties any any activities. If you are looking for quiet with awesome views, that is best place.
Quiet little park area in Kinnelon, NJ. a secret held close by the residents of the town. Beautiful lake, great walking trails, benches with BBQ grills, and areas for parties and undercover activities that can be rented. If you are looking for some quiet with beautiful views, this is it.

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND A GREAT PLACE TO WALK YOUR PUP, RECENTLY UPGRADED AND LOTS OF PARKING AND PICNIC AREAS ALONG WITH A BASEBALL FIELD, CUT OUT IN THE MOUNTAIN TOP, YOUR FAMILY AND PUPS WILL LOVE IT ALONG WITH A MINIATURE PIG I SAW SOMEONE WALKING, LOADED WITH DEER AND ANIMALS INCLUDING BLACK BEARS, CAUTION WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS UPON ARRIVAL THEY WILL TICKET YOU, LIQUOR AND FIREWORKS FRIENDLY WITH PERMITS
First thing I noticed - a huge parking lot. I mean really huge - you can probably park a thousand cars there. Never seen anything like this before.The park itself is not big. The longest hiking trail, White Trail, is about 3 miles long. The level of difficulty is easy to moderate. You can complete the entire loop in a hour and half (including Red trail back to the parking lot).There are couple of views along the trail and an artificial lake at its end
Rented the casino for a party, great spot for a party, has outside space and inside was old world charm
Great park. Clean bathrooms. They have a bunch of little trails you can walk and one longer one. Picnic benches large areas grassy to play.
Great place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
We hold our company picnic here most years and it is a wonderful venue with lots to do
Always take the gkids!
Nice park, great place to take calm and quiet walks.
One of the loveliest county parks anywhere. Large, with many niches to find
Perfect park to go and relax on a sunny day. They offer hiking trails, picnic tables, and a beautiful lake.
Very beautiful small park with a lake. The photo I provided earlier shows the NYC skyline, which is not visible down at the lake, but can be seen from the small mountain immediately adjacent to the park-- you can walk up from the parking lot if youre so inclined.
Great hiking trail
Awesomeness me place to hang out
Nice quiet park with some picnic pavilions and open spaces. No swimming available at the lake
Beautiful park. Lived in kinnelon/Butler years and came often.
Quite good place you just wanna seat back or you can go with your family for hiking
Beautiful must keep dog on leash. Kyacking. Picnic area
This park deserved five stars
Great hiking for the family
Micro atmosphere great fresh air.
Nice clean park with lake & hiking trail w nice views
An absolutely beautiful park. great for anythjng from fishing, picnics, a walk, or just relaxing.
Nice park but it gets too busy for me.
Nice view of the lake, and kept very clean
Very interesting, challenging trails, with great overlooks, lots of wildlife, nice lake
Nice county park for a picnic. NOTE: the lake has been drained down to repair the damn and fish removed. :-( WAS a good bass fishing lake but the State has promised to restock when the work is completed in the spring of 2018.
Well marked trails through woods for a short walk or a longer hike.
County park with a short hiking trail, a small lake (no swimming) and charcoal barbecues. Its nice to visit if you live in the area, but not worth a special trip. The dam was recently rebuilt and trails around the lake renovated.
Beautiful place to walk around.
Enjoyed a hike today on the white trail
Great park, nice walking paths and views. Had a nice birthday party in the casino
Nice little spot. Hike around small lake is beautiful and easy. Also nice picnic and ball field.
Easy hikes, clean, and dog friendly.
Nice family park. One moderate trail, about 3 miles
Beautiful park for walking dogs or having a picnic.
A beautiful place with excellent hiking trails.
Sucks but beautiful sights.
Very nice park! The red trail had great views of the trees and the blue path had a nice overlook at the end (only found one, not sure where the other was). The white trail was a lot of fun, moderate, so bring water since it takes about 1.5hrs or longer depending on your pace. All trails are well marked and theres a trail key that I wish I knew about beforehand! Definitely do the white trail at the start so you can feel like you earned the overlooks, I did it backwards since the red dropped off at the end of the white trail. Couple of places required getting bearings straight, but that was fun too!
Great park to go alone or with a group. Great clearly marked trails. Always a favorite place to go
A great place for a short hike or a longer one. The dam is under repair but it is still a nice place to sit and relax by the lake.
Good
Great quiet place to get away
Nice place for an easy stroll.
Okay I love this place for walking Cassie, our 10 year old Labradoodle. We spent a few hours there walking around the well marked trails.
Nice.
Great place to have a picnic. They have 2 tent sites and a shelter to reserve. Also have a hall to rent
Nice place to cruise through,there are trails that are easy to access for both people and animals
