Took the mansion/estate tour with a guide -- wonderful decorations inside and much fascinating history. House associated with Finn family (of Senator William Finn fame). Tudor style mansion with English gardens. Beautifully furnished.

1st time I was here I was not even a year old. Went again as a teenager with my friend and her family to go swimming. Now it is 35 years later and loved visiting again. Will have to go back when the inside of the monument is open. NJ resident is $5 per car during the week. My understanding is that it will be free to enter after Labor Day. They have plenty of trails and picnic tables. Even without going to the top of the monument, the parking lot has great 360 degree views of the Tristate area.

...but still beautiful and colorful. Though I think I missed the full force of it's foliage by a week, nevertheless this park is awesome. I like to hike, and I did the orange trail today which basically circles the park's public golf course. It's a somewhat moderate trail with some difficult, and I think it totals about 5 miles in length. The trail is well maintained, but I did see a whole lot of downed and dead trees along the way - more than most trails I go to around here - maybe it's the time of year. I drove around the park after

Great Walking/Hiking trails and the Ranger Staff is great! Lake Aeroflex is at the end of a small airport runway and has a nice picnic area and is kayak/canoe friendly with an easy put in.

This place is a little hard to find, and not highlighted many places. It's quite wonderful. Once you find the entrance by car, you have a few options. Park early, walk far. Park later walk less. Park at the end, walk downhil (then back up), and find the trails. Don't stop at the first parking lot unless you want to. Drive up and check out the options, then pick you parking spot. There are 3 or 4 of those. Between the 2nd and 3rd parking spots is a marked trail going up the hill into forest. Not an option with my 95 yr old FIL who was otherwise fine walking up and down the paved section. There are several iron BBQ stands among the park, pick one if you drive to the top and back down. There's a shelter between parking #2 and #3 (if I remember), you could have 20-30 people gather there out of the rain. In January (2020) after a lot of rain, the stream running through the park was happily bubbling. Not sure what it would look like in July or August. There's lots of shade, and they seem to be working on re-introducing some solid tress to add to that. This park looks like a work in progress, but is wonderful as it sits.
