Welcome back to National Parks and other public lands with T!
Hacklebarney State Park in New Jersey is 978 wooded acres surrounding the Black River. I walked the easy trails here with a photography group, taking pictures of the park’s waterfalls. The trail culminates in a pond where people can swim.
Location: 119 Hacklebarney Rd, Long Valley, NJ 07853
Designation: State Park

Your blog is amazing! Do you travel for work? I love seeing waterfalls like this and am hoping to get to another this weekend!
Thanks 😊. No, in normal times, I work in an office.
Oh!! Well a good excuse to travel! So glad the outdoors are still open!
I love waterfalls 💕
😊❤️
Lovely destination – thank you for reminding me. It is said that Hacklebarney is the coolest (as in temperature) spot in New Jersey. Its densely shaded trails and the softly rippling waters can be most welcome in July and August – and maybe other months now. Appreciatively! cfe
Thanks 😊. Yes, we had a nice time there. As I recall, we were standing in the middle of the river taking photos of the falls for quite some time.
Great waterfall shots. Thanks for sharing. Allan
Thanks Allan😊
Beautiful waterfalls; great photos. Thanks. –Curt
Thanks Curt😊
Well T, you continue to amaze with the number of great places to visit and hike in New Jersey and New York. I’m ready for another road trip.
Thanks Don😊 You may want to hold off on that road trip for just a while longer…nothing is truly open
Yep, know. Wishful thinking. We are waiting until everything is safe and back to normal relatively speaking.
Hopefully soon 🤞
I’ve only every driven through New Jersey, but I’ll have to add this to my list for when I finally make a real visit.
🙂
I wanted to thank you for your nice comments on my blog, MywalkinManhattan. I really love Hacklebarney Park. I have been going there since I was four years old. It is really beautiful in both the Spring and the Fall. I hope you had time to stop at the Hacklebarney Cider Mill Farm just outside the park. Their bakery and apple cider are the best and it is a great experience just walking around the family farm.
Thanks! Hope you are getting back out now that our parks have mostly reopened. No, I saw that farm, but we were hungry for real food after hiking. We went to another local place whose name I can’t remember
When you visit the park the next time check out their bakery. They make the best cider doughnuts and fruit turnovers and in the fall they cook hot dogs outside poached in their fresh apple cider. They also have an interesting corn maze. The family who runs the farm is super nice. Check out my review on DiningonaShoeStringinNYC@wordpress.com. Please stay safe in your travels as well. My best!
Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading and commenting 😊
