Park Overview:
Near the rugged Ramapo Mountain State Forest, this greenway along the Saddle River offers a contrasting network of flat, paved paths.
Park Description:
The Saddle River County Park consists of a string of five recreational locations along the Saddle River, from Ridgewood south to Rochelle Park, linked together by a paved path. At various sites, there are picnic areas, pavilions, playgrounds, and facilities for sports, including shuffleboard, softball, tennis, basketball, and roller hockey.
Trails 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.
