Park Overview

Near the rugged Ramapo Mountain State Forest, this greenway along the Saddle River offers a contrasting network of flat, paved paths.

Trail Overview

For hikers or walkers, the six-mile paved path that connects five locations is the attraction, making possible a pleasant greenway on a nearly flat path along the Saddle River in the center of Bergen County, with no street crossings. Trail maps and brief descripions for each segment of the park, published by the Bergen County Department of Parks, are available online. Use Contact Information on this site to link to the park's web page.  See also the Web Map link for inclusive overview.
