Ramapo Mountain State Park - Oakland, New Jersey, Wanaque New Jersey. This was a wonderful mountainside forest hike. We enjoyed our visit so much that we stayed until sunset. Absolutely GORGEOUS hiking trails at this state park! Wear the proper shoes (especially in winter) for good traction as rocks become slippery. Especially climbing to the Castle/Tower.
Great workout good for the dog too
You have two options.One is to take an easy and boring trail along Sky Line Drive. The other is to walk from the parking lot to Ramapo Lake where you can take several trails to Ramapo State Forest.
Love this place.
Great place to hike
