    South Mountain Reservation

The woodland park features a variety of hardwood trees, and tall hemlocks towering above streams, creeks and ponds. The west branch of the Rahway River flows through the valley, and a 25-foot waterfall at Hemlock Falls is a dramatic feature. It is also a Revolutionary War historic site.

      Great dog park

      We went mid afternoon on a Wednesday so only 2-5 dogs there. The surface is firm sand with some large rocks, agility stations, multiple benches in sun and shade. Hose for play pools, water fountain for dog and human, and porta potty in parking lot. Right near trails. Dog owners nice, and dogs well behaved. Whole area was super clean and well maintained.

      Rustic with pools & water

      Loved it! Big and had a nice woods feel. Several pools that folks constantly empty (dirty water) and refill with clean water. A nice big fenced “time out” area but we didn’t see any dogs in it-not needed since dogs were good. My 8 month old puppy really enjoyed all the play options and then we hiked to the waterfall. Beautiful park.
