Moderate hike to cool rock formations. Nice trails. Distance: 3 mile round trip to Tripod Rock and back.

This is a fun hike that is great for the entire family. The trails are really well maintained and Tripod Rock is a pretty amazing feature to check out. You can hike to the rock and follow your steps back to the parking lot for a 3 mile round trip or continue along the trail for a 4.4 mile loop. It's mostly flat with some mild elevation, nothing that kids can't handle. There are two really nice overlooks with great views and on a clear day you can see the New York City Skyline!

Really enjoyed it but it was already very crowded in the early spring. Certain parts of the trail have less people but when you get to the rocks it can get very crowded. Still a good time. Really enjoyed hiking alongside the water.

I did this hike with friends at home in NJ. It was an enjoyable and not too difficult hike. There were some steep, rocky uphills but nothing kids couldn't do. The rock formation at the end was a good spot to have lunch.

Really fun little hike. A couple sections may be a little challenging for small children but, overall, easy to traverse. Bring a good pair of boots or old sneakers and don't be afraid to get them filthy.

The trailhead parking is at the end of Timberbrook Road, before the road enters Camp Winnebago (Boy Scouts). I hiked this in a clockwise directions starting on the Timberbrook Trail (yellow markers). After about 1 mile the trail ends at a junction with the Four Birds Trail (white markers). Turn right and follow for two miles to the top of Riley's Rise. There is no view from the trail but you...

Thru Hike the Four Birds Trail

The Four Birds Trail is about 19 miles long and is a great thru hike or can be done in sections as out and back hikes or part of loop hikes with other trails. Starting from the north, the trail ascends gradually over easy terrain until you reach a cliff ridge. There are several good view points to the east. The trail (marked with white blazes) parallels a forest road. It is best to stay on ...

Hike the Hank's Pond Loop

Hank's Pond loop can be accessed from the south at the corner of Clinton road and Van Orden road or from the north, parking at the lot on Stephens road. I hiked from the south on this trip. Follow the wide trail known as Hank's East trail marked with white blazes. Soon you will reach a trail connected marked with blue blazes. Along this connector are several short access trails to Hank's Po...

Parking space is limited due to the small size but there is another hidden lot towards the back if you make a right out of the parking lot and then the first right turn onto Highland Ave. Drive down about 1 mile until Windsor Pl. and make another right turn. Go straight until the end an...

Hike the Halifax Trail and Ruins in the Ramapo Valley Reservation

To start, I recommend coming in the early morning or afternoon, as the parking lot fills up with people hiking, fishing or going for a walk with their family. I usually get my luckiest before 9. This park is as relaxing or exciting as you want to make it. Here is a good map to use/ print out. We made it our goal to follow the Green Trail to the Ruins in order to give us a challenge to explore t...
