Pleasant place to take a walk. Kids love to toss a stone or two into the lake. Its a fun and easy place to bring a kid to fish. The lake is stocked with trout in the spring and fall.
Beautiful day to walk on flat even surfaced path! Watch for the sunning garter snakes! Too cute to step on!! Ducks fishing on lake
Be careful. The bike trails dont wrap around and you can get lost very easily. Take a picture and save the map
Beautiful place to visit during fall. Great scenery and long clean trails.
Scenic view is right by the parking lot. Lovely for pictures.
Very pretty, good for a walk or bike ride. Parking is very limited.
Its a nice place. But the trail is too short to hike.
Beautiful lake with remnants of historic buildings on the grounds.
Very nice and peaceful. Fishing is permitted. Visit during evening time to see amazing sunset.
A small park, nice view of the dam. No swimming.
This is a beautiful place. Very serene.
First time being here it was nice and relaxing love hearing the sound of the water
Loved it. My get away place for my head and body, from nearby Morristown Hospital where my Mom laid critically ill
Peaceful place to walk around.
Great place good fishing
Peacefully a place to go for total relaxation.
Very pretty park, antique brick structures. The park across the street offers restored structures of revolutionary history. There is a visitor center but only open on Wed through the week.
Calm nice walk.
Always get my beer here when all the stores are closed, cute girls always working behind the bar, maybe ran into a girl once with a not so happy look once, you can get a 6 pack of heini for 15 but i always give them the 20 for fetching it for me. One real cute girl is there omg she is so fine.
A cute little park. Very good for jogging.fishing is allowed here. Very less crowded.Where the water falls, its a great sight, and I have seen many photographers throng this site for taking a good click. The best time to sob photography is during fall and winter, specially during snow.You can sit by the lake side and read books.I even spotted dears in this park.
Nice little waterfall and pond, but too many people
Its a great place for family
Serene and calm atmosphere
I love that I live just yards away from the park. The falls are a place to go and relax and the walking path is scenic. You can also walk across the street and visit historic Speedwell for reenactment Civil war scenes.
Very great area for biking and general walking/relaxation. There are plenty of fishing spots located throughout the lake, which is convenient for anglers in search of their next catch. Parking is included/free and theres a playground as well for kids. Strongly recommend checking out this lake/park. Great for a walk/run/bike/fishing.
Awesome beginners trail.
Very relaxing walk. The trail goes as long as you want it too.
Amazing. Off of Speedwell there are swings and sliding for kids . Father stop texting! Small path nice water. Walk down off Patriotic Trail Many. Do people and wilderness a favor NO TOBACCO of any should be used. This is the law AND respect it. If I see someone doing it again And we will videotape and call the police. I will give you the number soon. Overall its a beautiful scenery.
Grew up here its changed over the years but still a Gem .
Seems well taken care. People leave trash on the banks, but usually cleaned up by my next visit. It’s a nice little park.
I hike there just about every day with my dog in the morning and he really enjoys exploring the little rocky areas near the dam. I usually run into friendly people and many times fellow dog owners. There is also quite a bit of wildlife that I encounter on the walks.
Its been years but it still the same. Nice getaway to have some quiet time or let the kids enjoy. They can even fish or play and theres a bike trail.
The scenery here is just amazing. You can go fishing, bike or take a stroll along the well-marked path, or just find a quiet spot and enjoy the view. Parking was easy during our visit but there are no restrooms.
Pretty nice park
This is the perfect buffer between the city and the trail...
Really nice park with nice paved road to walk or bike. It follows a nice river with a little waterfalls. Good parking next to a small playground and a nice spot for fishing.
Absolutely amazing! Great view and was able to take pictures by the waterfall. At the beginning near the parking lot theres some ruins of an old castle, and an old fireplace that was left standing which is really cool and great to take pictures of. It was my familys second time there bike riding! The trails are amazing! It does get steep and a difficult for inexperienced bikers at the end but it just adds to the fun coming down. The only bad part, which is not the parks fault, is that we passed a woman smoking weed and she absolutely did not care that there were children. I am not happy with that part, but it Totally & Honestly did not ruin the amazing sight!
Nice little place to walk around. They have a small waterfall which is pretty as well.
Full pf duck weed hard to fish.
love this lake.
Serene quiet peaceful park in Morristown; walk, jogging, bicycling or just strolling
Went for trout. Very windy and hard to fish. People need to clean up after themselves,,,found a lot of fishing line on shore instead of being put in garbage . People have to think about the wild life in these areas. I recently saved a bird that was caught in someones fishing line. If you snag or break off try to collect a much line as possible and discard properly.
Not a park to relax but directly patriot path on the river. Nice views
Nice location for long exposure photography
Beautiful scenery, good fishing, parking. Nice walking trail.
Very relaxing place!!
Love it, see my photos lol
Interesting place to visit for a walk, jog and have some fresh air.
Easy trails, good parking. Nice place for a run or a walk with kids or a dog. Access to a little bit of the lake for fishing or dog paddling (on leash of course).
Relaxing
Great walking / running/ biking trail. Free parking is also available.
Beautiful, now working Nj transit
Small playground at the entrance to the Patriots path. Can fish, hike, or bike. Need a permit to fish. Usually quiet and peaceful.
Excellent little pond with a well maintained section of patriots path. Follow the patriots path west to get to Washington valley, foster fields, Lewis Morris park, and the dismal harmony natural area. It makes for an excellent ~16 mile round trip bike ride.
Excellent place for an evening walk
Beautiful, nice trail, love it, must go!
Nice place
Great place to visit on a nice day!
I spend a good deal of my time running through this park, it is part of my normal running route. One weekend in the summer they were hosting a revolutionary war reenactment. The historical part of the park is small. What I enjoy most is running through, seeing the occasional fisherman or photographer trying to catch that perfect fish or perfect amount of light coming off of Speedwell Lake. The waterfall and old structures are nice to look at but there is frequently litter on the unpaved trails and the lake becomes overgrown with algae in the peak summer season. Come here for a fall or winter stroll and it will be worth it, otherwise I would recommend checking out some of the other parks MCPC has to offer.
Great place to be with the kids or just to workout by yourself. So big and clean
Nice quiet place. Lake filled up with trout. Nice little paved walking trail.
Beautiful view
Beautiful and rustic.
The parking lot is so bad now it makes my family and I not want to go as much. Its rough to drive on and walk on. Morris county needs to repair immediately.
Nice place for a walk
Best walks
Nice park, but fairly crowded at 7:30 AM
Its a nice place to take walk or sit by the water or just park your car parking lot very shady
Great path, they take care of the paved route. Not so great if it snowed but not their fault...
Cool waterfall.
Nice place for a peaceful walk.
Nice mini oasis
Went for fishing, got some tiny lobsters which we let go
Lovely little piece of nature.
Beautiful photo spot
Been there once. Not Bad fished!
Serene and beautiful
The Patriots Path that runs through it is a fun bike ride with kids
Nice park and fishing lake
Very good looking park, the noise of the cars can be a downer, but there is little to no trash around.
Awesome stuff its with amuseum
Wish theres bathroom
