Breathtaking! The pictures dont do it justice! Since Ive not seen it in over 20 years, theyve added a 9/11 Memorial with names engraved in black, either marble or granite (sorry I couldnt tell which one) across the wall. The view is amazing. There are also trails for those who wish to hike a bit. If youre looking for a view of NYC, this is the place! (Photos attached dont show 9/11 Memorial. I couldnt. Sorry! These are views toward Upstate NY, NYC, and South of NYC.)

Many Good beginner trails. Most trails are appropriately color marked. I was able to explore off the map/GPS TRAILS with no problem. The 911 memorial and view of Manhattan are fabulous. Very good family fun!!!

Great place for a hike in the woods. Most trails arent well marked so easy to get a little turned around, but nice rolling hills and options for a stroll, bike or trail run through the woods. Small enough that its easy to use your phones GPS/compass to meander back to where you parked your car.

This was my first time at this Reservation. I was amazed by the view and the pieces of history to commemorate the fallen at 911...on my mind and heart there were so many emotions. How can something so beautiful be so sad at the same time.Please take time to walk around this memorial park and say a prayer for those who lost their lives.

Havent been here in almost 50 years. Still good location to see NYC view. It is now beautifully landscaped and very touching 9/11 memorials. Hats off to the improvements made here. Worth the visit here.

I enjoy coming here! It was a bit crowded today, a lot of birthday partys. But it wasnt Rowdy in any way. Just nice family get togethers. Great sculptures and a view to die for. Great for sunsets or family barbeques. Very nice by your self to reflect, or with a loved one. Enjoy!

One of the popular recreation places in surrounding areas. It has a outlook post yo NYC, a flat top of recreation, and a few good trails for hiking.I usually take the red trail which is a relatively longer trail in the park. Trail marking is not consistent and clear so you may want to use tools such as alltrails in first time.Parking is always full in weekend at recreation area. For people who to hiking, you can pull over to road side.

Great place to spend a day with your love one, or ones. The view is not that bad. Its just a far view of Manhattan. It is nice and calm as far as people. Everybody is doing their thing while you doing yours. I will add some pictures next time I go. For you guys that havent been there, you should give it a try. Im sure you will enjoy it.

Beautiful park. Theyve really cleaned it up well. Fantastic views of NYC Skyline. Very nice 911 memorial.

One the Best for Peace and have Eagle View from Eagle Rock and Lots of memories 911 #Sept 11 Memorial- Eagle Rock Reservation, West Orange NJ .....

Beautiful view of NYC! Great place to picnic and awesome mountain biking / hiking trails!

Great views of New York City, albeit a far view of it. Really like the memorials theyve built. They could keep it a little neater but its fine. Nice place to take some food and just hang out for a bit.

Breathtaking views of the city skyline & touching memorial for those that perished during 9/11/01...

Wonderful urban overlook with a view of the NYC skyline. The 9/11 Memorial is a solemn tribute to the fallen. The park is popular with locals who enjoy picnics. The Lenape hiking trial cuts through the park.

Really great park for a family or date picnic or stroll. Beautiful view overlooking NYC. I have been there 3 times since knowing go this place. Havent done the trailing though.

We are so lucky to have this beautiful natural space just outside of Manhattan. Trails and picnic areas are well maintained, and the park offers some of the best views of NYC. I highly recommend spending an hour or so at sunset, watching the light reflect off lower Manhattan.

We visited on 9/11.Beautiful view of the city and the twin tower lights. Shout out to the police officers directing and organizing the crowds visiting the park. They did a great job. Thank you.

Great park system. Many well maintained trails and plenty that are more off the beaten path. A great variety for the casual weekend family walk or the more serious nature hike. Parking is ample even with the increased popularity during Covid.

Great sight of the city. Nice trails to take a stroll and nice grounds for bbqing or a picnic.

Great view of NYC skyline and northern NJ. Also a great place to eat your lunch while admiring the view.

The trails are great for kids. Not crowded, a good blend of wide and narrow paths providing flexibility to choose per comfort. Great to go late afternoon / early evening for a walk.

Nice place. It’s quite and you will have a good view to city. Totally free to enjoy

Such beautiful views of NYC. Not to mention some amazing 9/11 memorials.

Serene, beautiful, clean, friendly place, great for photography and much more. I must see great place

Moving memorial for 9/11 - Beyond that, there are great views of the New York City profile.Great for a day stop as well as night viewing whether youre out by yourself, on a date or with the whole family, its a nice stop along the way.I hope this helps someone out there.

My bonus daughter and I had a great time. Great trails and a great view.

Amazing views of NYC skyline. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature

Spectacular view of NYC skyline!! Touching 911 memorial. Nice walking trails. Relaxing!

Such a serene spot, bring a book and enjoy!

Clean and well maintained. Great view to see NYC. Field to move around and trails to take a stroll. Several 9-11 memorials are well constructed. Dog friendly. In this sunny afternoon, a lot of people come here. Parking is a bit tight.

A Beautifully crafted memorial. Simple but Beautifully done. The view of upper and lower New York is architectural genus. I appreciate the work and the people who made this project possible. Thank you to our heroes who lost their lives. God bless America.

New York city skyline right next to parking lot. Theres also trails for those who are interested.

Went back for our 30th since we had our reception there. The food was great and always love the view!

This place has stunning views of NYC skyline. The memorial really reminds of that unfortunate day. It has non scenic trail which is maintained well.

Best views of NYC skyline in the area. Also a great place for a picnic or short hike.

What a view! Poignant September 11th memorial. Nice hiking trails. A local gem!

Nice park with a view of the city from the 9/11 memorial. Lots of trails in the back of the park, well groomed and maintained. Relatively flat with only a few short, steep inclines. Not as buggy as we thought it might be. Some of the trails can be used for horses or mountain biking. The porta-potties were well serviced too, looks like they are taken care of regularly.The real draw is the number of trails available in a suburban setting. Theres also a state long trail that runs through part of the park.

Lots of hiking trails. One of the best views of the city could be seen from here.

Beautiful view of NYC and not too crowded trails. Trails are not marked properly so that is little annoying (hence one star less)

Sweeping views of the city and a very beautiful place to hike.. Bring your pupcake if you have one!

My husband and I got married at Eagle Rock at the Gazebo. It was absolutely stunning. I called the town, filed the permit and my date was reserved. We were able to fit a good 45-50 ppl standing and sitting around us. It was a beautiful day and even though the park was crowded, we had our privacy. If youre looking to hold a simple outdoor ceremony, I absolutely recommend Eagle Rock Reservation.

The best views of NY skyline in North Jersey.

The view alone is enough to give it 5 stars. The memorial is touching and just a reminder, a necessary reminder of how blessed we are.

Beautiful....The place I got my dinner the night before my wedding,

Beautiful and honorable place to teach the little ones about our American History, and to remember those who fight for our freedom.

Its a great piece of property for walks. However, more times than not theres garbage on the grounds (people are pigs), and the cans are overflowing. How about using huge taxes to clean it up?

A very peaceful setting! Beautiful NYC view and comfortable hilltop breeze. Nice.

Beautiful small park with a fantastic view of the city, love checking it out

Great place for photography relax walk scenery i go there one or twice a week

Beautiful view of New York City and the surrounding woods. Clean and convenient. Free parking and a cookout area for barbecue.

If u love NYC skyline one of the best places in jersey to see that.silent clean place full of greenary

Such a beautiful view of the NYC Skyline nestled in West Orange, NJ. Beautiful park, wonderful and safe we place to have a romantic picnic.

Such an amazing place for family outing. Amazing view of New York City skyline. Very nice barbecue place. Visit during sunset hours for amazing view.

Well done in honor of all the lives that were lost..

Trails are generally clean though markings could be better as some trail marks appear to be missing or confusing. Main parking lot has spectacular views of NYC!

A nice set of well-maintained the trails with enough forest to make you feel like you’re out in the woods while being close to home. Nothing particularly spectacular but great for a nice walk in the woods.

The best view of New York in all of New Jersey except for the Palisades the memorial to 9/11 is some moving and so well done

Eagle Rock had a lovely view of New York City, and had a variety of trails to choose from. Some of the trails were untamed and a little wilder, which made it a more authentic hiking experience. Plenty of dog owners and joggers as well! Great atmosphere, and very lovely memorial!

Beautiful Memorial Park. Never Forget.

Exceptional views of NYC and Newark skylines superimposed and rising above a quilt of trees. Very moving 9-11 memorial with a haunting statue of an orphaned duaghter. Accessbile by car or by bike from Montclair and West Orange.

Beautifully laid out with great detail given to 9/11 names and remembrances all with an overview of Manhattan in the horizon.

Trails arent correctly or completely marked, so we ended upon 3 different trails with kids in tow. Additionally, the trails are for nature walks, not hikes in the least.

Lots of mud on Trails but thats nature. Did the red tail loop which comes across yellow and blue trails. Yellow trail is the LENAPE TRAIL. Easy 3.6 miles

Its outdoors whats not to love !?. Plus great views .

Just an amazing stop. Incredible view and memorials.

Beautiful place with splendid views of New York City.

Nice place for a scenic bike ride or a walk through the wilderness. Also a nice spot to watch the sun.

A must to visit. Outstanding view of Manhattan, day and night.I would declare my eternal love to my girlfriend again and again at the summit of such a beautiful place.

Cool on a hot day. Cant hear cars or see other people despite being in the middle of a town.

What a great view! Went and ate lunch at the Pavillion and had a great time. Beautiful park

Beautifully serene tribute to our fallen during the attacks on America. Breathtaking views of Manhattan and the Freedom Tower. A must see and experience.

Has its own experience to visit in Winter and to visit in Spring. During Snowfall you will not be able to walk on the trails . The drive up to top point is cool and you can also see the New York skyline from here

Great place to drive to for sunrise. Beautiful views of the NYC skyline.

Nice view of the city. Also good for hiking.

Awesome views. Nice fresh air! Nice place to stop by.

Great hiking trails, well marked with a killer long-distance view of the city. Did about 3 miles and there was definitely more available, it was not very challenging. Super easy to find our way back to the parking lot.

So pretty & gorgeous the view is AMAZING! Its a shame the twin towers are gone

Lookout on the ridge has beautiful Manhattan sunrise especially in the fall when the leaves are turning. Small but beautiful 911 memorial site with the names of the fallen.

The scenery is so beautiful and peaceful.. love it

Came here when it was raining it was such a great atmosphere. The view was amazing. I only wish I knew where the bathrooms were .

Great place in be and a great place to view New York . Theres parking inside the park A picnic area and trails that run through the park. Great for family gatherings

Breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline from the place. Nice cozy corner in the area to chill ... the reminder of September 11 is strong and alive...a must visit if you are in this part of NJ.

Always An Awesome View ....Any Time ....

It is a beautiful memorial park especially for our 911 souls we lost

Decided to bring my wife and daughter to see this beauty. View in in the night is the best. Glad that city remembers those who lost they life’s on 9/11.

Beautiful view of the city. Only visited arty night so far. But cant wait to see during the day as well.

Beautiful 9/11 memorial and even more beautiful views to Manhattan

Great view of Manhattan

Great place to relax with family. Not too crowded even during weekends. They have trails too.

There was a 9/11 memorial and a beautiful view of Manhattan. Nice woodland trails and a lot of space to just sit and relax.

Not for kids and family visited in evening saw lot of young crowd and couples doing fun stuff all over

This place is truly an amazing and beautiful area to go be it for a date or simply a serene night to relax. The memorial is beautiful and sobering image. I loved the atmosphere of the entire place but wish that their was a stricter policy on littering because the youth tend to ruin the place with their careless trash #swingset #picnic #autumnleaves #shaded

The trail while nice isnt maintained well. Lots of broken glass and trash. The main area with the gazebo is much better kept and offers great views

We love ERR. Such incredible city views. A very peaceful spot to sit, relax and take a moment. Took our girls to see rhe 9/11 memorial and reminisce about hanging out at the reservation when their dad and I we were kids.

Nice park with lots of trails. I used to hike here a lot as I live nearby, but lately the park has been absurdly crowded with people parking on every inch of available land. No one is enforcing any sort of distancing or maximum capacity. No longer comfortable with spending much time here.

Beautiful view of NYC and touching September 11th memorial

Amazing views of NYC ! Open space to sit in the sun, have a picnic or even just relax on the benches on site!

Great park with view of city, can’t wait to see the sunrise and moonrise from this place soon.

Fine dining done to perfection with the best view of NYC in North Jersey !!! Highly recommend for special occasions...

Beautiful location but not as much to see as I hoped.
