Title: Western Ramapo Reservation

Venue: Back Beach Park, Haskell, NJ

Address:  Approx: 1 4th Ave, Haskell, NJ

Rating: 3.5

 

Description: Visit the lesser-known, secret side to the Ramapo Reservation.  We’ll visit a pretty lake, have fantastic views of faraway lands and even visit the ruins of an abandoned castle. 

 

Optional lunch nearby at Thatcher Mcghee’s

Hike Leader: David will be leading this hike.

 

Specs: The hike is classified as moderately strenuous with a few big uphill and downhill parts, although much of the trail has gently rolling terrain.  We will be hiking a total of about 6.0 miles and will take approx. 3.5 - 4 hours.

 

As with all hikes you must be in good, athletic shape.  This is NOT suitable for beginner hikers unless you are in good shape.

 

Note:  David will not be waiting for late people.  In fairness to those who arrive on time, the hike will start on time.

 

Sweeper: If the group size is larger than 10, we are going to look for a volunteer to act as a sweeper. Sweepers will walk at the end of the hike line and will make sure the group stays together.

 

What to bring: Hiking boots and 2 liters of water (required).  We recommend a light snack to keep your appetite satisfied. Please make sure you have a bag to carry out your garbage.

 

Inclement Weather: Any precipitation beyond a drizzle will cancel this hike. Tickets will be refunded.

 

Directions: Take 287 North or South to exit 55. If you took 287 South, make a right at the end of the exit ramp then a left onto Ringwood Ave.  If you took 287 North, make a right at the end of the exit ramp and you will be on Ringwood Ave.  Follow Ringwood Ave for about 1 mile then make a right onto 4th Ave. Follow 4th Ave until you get to Back Beach Park (once you follow the curve to the left, you will have to bear right at several forks)
