Saw this on instagram but not totally sure what the hype is. Nice hidden trail, not well marked but it's very small so I don't think it'd be that easy to get lost. We did come across a coyote as we got close to houses-there was a coyote standing there staring at us from a distance as we turned a corner. Be aware of this especially with small pets!!! It was also super buggy. Probably wouldn't return.
Grew up here, lived on street that has this behind it. Must have spent 1000's of hours down here with all the neighborhood kids, back when kids got dirty and hurt. Must have ruined countless sneakers in it's brook! Great spot for an easy hike or to walk your dog 😎🤙
I took my preschool class of 2 and 3 year old children here and everyone loved it! Perfect introduction to hiking, while being very doable. They loved seeing how the dead leaves become soil, touching moss, seeing and hearing the water, and seeing wild flowers. Also a terrific place to introduce being quiet and listening to birds- so many to hear! Fyi: small area, no playground, restrooms or picnic area. Good place for a leashed dog, we saw one on our walk.
Verdant green foliage, streaming waters, and a pleasant path to re-energize. Not too large, trail takes less than 30 minutes. Dog friendly, but no developed picnic area.
For those seeking a quiet and remote walk, this is it. A preserve on its way to escalation offering a slice of flavor we all can use from the ordinary.
Hidden in a rural neighborhood yet uniquely attainable from 2 entrances with a simple loop thru park. Go on a sunny or even snowy day.

Great, beautiful preserve in the middle of Montclair. Took about 5 minutes of walking around to realize where the entrance was between the 2 houses (pictured). Street parking. Once you’re inside it’s beautiful and peaceful to walk around for an hour or so. I saw ducks, deer, birds, definitely will be back.
This is a great little bit of wildlife amongst the suburbs but its also bo secret. There's maybe a mile of trails mostly consisting of one loop. It's a nice place to visit if you want to feel a bit of wildlife without driving too far. It's a good bird watching destination too.
