This is a great park very impressive. It has some trails as well.
This is the perfect spot to get the hang of mountain biking or go for a moderate ride with just a few tough hills and a lot of flat wooded dirt paths, grassy fields, and sandy areas. Good variety, pretty woods, and secluded area with a limited amount of bikers
Nice 5+ miles trail with around 200ft elevation gain. Trail can get confusing at time so highly recommend to use a trail map / app. June onwards there are lot of nice flowers on the trail. I love the sweet smell of flowers during summer months. Recommend to start from the left side of park and come out from the children’s playground side (basically clockwise). There are picnic benches to sit down and enjoy at various spots. Also, you can visit the deep cut gardens across the street and enjoy the nice garden views and koi pond.
Beautiful medium sized park with five trail loop options split between open meadow paths and smaller paths through the woods. Trail loops range from 1-2 miles long but it's easy to mix and match trails to make a longer walk. Majority of the trails are flat without too much rough terrain and are considered "easy" to "moderate". Would recommend for running/jogging or just casual walks.
This is a great place for a mental break. I stopped here on a whim and ended up spending two hours.
There are lots of little (short) trails to explore that are interconnected; each has its charm.
Dog Wood is beautiful and quaint, lots of great smells and sounds. It was short, but my favorite.
From God Wood I got onto Tatum Ramble, which was nice for checking out New Jersey's tall trees. This trail is wider and had a few bikers on it. It is a bit longer and connected to Meadow Run and Indian Springs.
Meadow Run is the longest trail. It connects the meadows of the park, which all kind of look the same. If you are shorter on time, I recommend the other trails first, unless you really love meadows.
Indian springs is a cute narrow trail that makes you feel as though you are sneaking through the woods. I really enjoyed this one, but it goes along the road for quite a bit which can be noisy.
I only have this park 4 stars because it is on the small side, there is some road noise, and I found some of the directions a bit confusing. Overall it is a Great place for a day walk -- not at all challenging and quite relaxing. It is well worth a visit.
