There are many different trails here, so there are a lot of options. If you want to see the views seen in the pictures, park at the Weiss Center and then follow the green trail, to the blue trail and then there is a rock labelled Hi Point, which will take you to this view. Good luck!

Great place to start a hike, many options from one parking lot. usually doesnt fill up during the week but it can get full on weekends.

The new weise center is a wonderful place They have a lot of activities planned throughout the year its a great place to be

Been going here for years live up the hill from it, please check out the highlands pool next door.

**UPDATING REVIEW TO FIVE STARS!!!** Received helpful reply from the New Weis Center (see new photo)**To begin, I would like to clarify that this is a review exclusively on the New Weis Center park/rec properties. I took part in a Goat yoga class (if you don’t know what that is, do an internet search and be amazed!) yesterday and this marked my first trip to the lovely grounds and main offices/studio complex. This is a lovely nature preserve and arts/recreation property nestled in bucolic Ringwood (near to the Ramapo Mountains) that is open year round for hiking, yoga, music, and other incredible activities to inspire and educate. It is so peaceful here and you feel instantly connected and grounded to the beauty surrounding you as you stroll through the trails. I saw folks gathered who appeared to be part of a hiking group and others enjoying a brisk walk on a fantastic Autumn afternoon. The more modern main center is where the yoga class took place and it stands in more civilized contrast to the quaint and rustic cabin type structures and camp features. ***My only suggestion for the Center Board members/staff is to please place a sign near the parking area so that folks who come to participate in events in the main building know where to go. It wasn’t difficult to find the offices but on a cold day and considering you cannot see the offices from the parking area, you may have people taking the long way around or getting confused (and cold!) as to where they are supposed to go.*** Thank you! I look forward to more events here!

Incredible center dedicated to appreciating nature and interacting with the community. So many great programs and helpful people! Go for a hike, sign your kids up for summer camp, or come jam out at the open mic night!

Well, I used to come here when it was Camp Midvale. I am in my 60s now. I remember as a child experiencing the smell of pine cones, pine needles and sap. I remember lightening bugs on cool summer nights and the stars shining against the black sky. I remember walking to the pool with my cousins and brothers and sisters. I remember our cabins each summer and when our dog Willy got sprayed by a skunk. The dormitory and the woods facing it where I buried some coins. I canRemember the plays they used to put on in the social hall and the piano I learned to play Chopsticks on. Hiking with my cousins and finding a charred cabin with pots and pans still hanging on a hook while looking at the mountains in the distance. I will always remember this place.

Solid hiking trail. Well marked and mapped trails. Beautiful views.
