Great, beautiful preserve in the middle of Montclair. Took about 5 minutes of walking around to realize where the entrance was between the 2 houses (pictured). Street parking. Once you’re inside it’s beautiful and peaceful to walk around for an hour or so. I saw ducks, deer, birds, definitely will be back.

This is a great little bit of wildlife amongst the suburbs but its also bo secret. There's maybe a mile of trails mostly consisting of one loop. It's a nice place to visit if you want to feel a bit of wildlife without driving too far. It's a good bird watching destination too.

Cool hidden gem. One of the entrances is to the left of 23 Riverview Dr. Alternate entrance at the end of Daniels Dr. SEE PHOTOS to support statements.

Wonderful suburban nature retreat. The severe weather has taken it's toll on the trees; but, that's nature. A great place for dog walkers. The entrances and signage are less visible from the street. Street parking is the only parking. Seems main entrance is via Riverview Dr & Riverview Drive West in Montclair. Best to search using a mapping software as this intersection is secluded also. Once inside the park, the seclusion is a benefit.

For those seeking a quiet and remote walk, this is it. A preserve on its way to escalation offering a slice of flavor we all can use from the ordinary. Hidden in a rural neighborhood yet uniquely attainable from 2 entrances with a simple loop thru park. Go on a sunny or even snowy day.

My favorite hidden gem! Beautiful preserve. Very quiet and never busy. A bit hard to find (the entrance is between two houses). Highly recommend checking this out!

Saw this on instagram but not totally sure what the hype is. Nice hidden trail, not well marked but it's very small so I don't think it'd be that easy to get lost. We did come across a coyote as we got close to houses-there was a coyote standing there staring at us from a distance as we turned a corner. Be aware of this especially with small pets!!! It was also super buggy. Probably wouldn't return.

Grew up here, lived on street that has this behind it. Must have spent 1000's of hours down here with all the neighborhood kids, back when kids got dirty and hurt. Must have ruined countless sneakers in it's brook! Great spot for an easy hike or to walk your dog 😎🤙

Verdant green foliage, streaming waters, and a pleasant path to re-energize. Not too large, trail takes less than 30 minutes. Dog friendly, but no developed picnic area.

Very tranquil nature area in suburban Montclair NJ. It was nice to walk around and listen to the Veery and Cedar Waxwings calling this evening. Trails just a bit muddy.

Beautiful little reserve filled with wildlife. Nestled in a neighborhood. A little stream runs through it. Lovely for a little hike into nature.

Great for a nature stroll without too much walking. Great for intruding kids on trail walking without ever being more than 5-10 minutes walk from exit.

Very pretty natural reserve with a river running through it.

I took my preschool class of 2 and 3 year old children here and everyone loved it! Perfect introduction to hiking, while being very doable. They loved seeing how the dead leaves become soil, touching moss, seeing and hearing the water, and seeing wild flowers. Also a terrific place to introduce being quiet and listening to birds- so many to hear! Fyi: small area, no playground, restrooms or picnic area. Good place for a leashed dog, we saw one on our walk.

Beautiful but be warned that we encountered numerous dogs off lease which bounded towards us even though there were signs saying dogs must be leased. Also hard to find and zero trail markers

love this oasis and hidden gem!!! great walking trails and lots of birds and deer not far away from civilization but you feel far away from it all!! definitely a must go! geocaching there too

Nice and quiet, barely anyone there, and some of the trails get blocked off but besides that it’s amazing for a small little hike.

Not much good place, not recommended for small kids and teenage children. It's ok for adults those likes some lone adventures and few nature enthusiasts!! But strictly not recommended for kids alone, especially without adults observing.
