This
scenic
overlook
is
accessible
via
a
short
paved
path
from
a
nearby
free
parking
lot
in
the
park.
The
fenced
concrete
platform
is
quite
large
for
many
people
to
enjoy.
It
includes
the
locally-famous
Chimney
Rock,
painted
in
white
so
that
it's
visible
for
a
great
distance.
The
hawk
watch
and
historic
rock
sit
atop
a
hundred
foot
cliff.
The
rock
looks
a
bit
like
a
chimney
top,
hence
the
name.
Many
things
in
the
area
are
then
named
after
this
Chimney
Rock
(e.g.
a
road,
a
quarry,
a
restaurant
and
former
inn/hotel,
a
new
shopping
center).
From
the
overlook,
you
can
watch
migrating
birds
of
prey
(hawks
and
falcons),
and
look
down
with
unobstructed
view
at
one
of
the
largest
active
quarries
in
NJ.
I
wish
there
were
historical
markers
or
at
least
a
sign
post
labeling
the
Chimney
Rock,
as
the
area
was
a
tourist
attraction
even
in
the
1700s
for
people
traveling
from
NYC
to
Philadelphia.
