About the Tourne Park
Tourne Park, located at 89 Norris Road in Denville, New Jersey, is an ecological and recreational oasis for all ages.

History buffs will appreciate the park's origins, which date back to the 18th century when the land was purchased by Colonial Attorney-General David Ogden. The park's name, 'Tourne,' is derived from the Dutch word meaning 'lookout' or 'mountain.' Visitors can explore the historic McCaffrey Lane, designed in 1767, and learn about the early conservation efforts of Clarence Addington DeCamp, one of Morris County's first conservationists.
Don't miss the chance to visit the Mouse Cradle Balancing Rock, a 54-ton glacial erratic balanced on two points of a ledge rock. This unique feature, named by DeCamp in 1897, offers a glimpse into the park's geological history.
Whether you're looking to enjoy a peaceful picnic, a challenging hike, or a day of outdoor recreation, Tourne Park has something for everyone. Explore the park's diverse trails, learn about its rich history, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Morris County.

Reviews of Tourne Park
"Great! Hiked Red & Decamp Trails, even though it was pitch black out. Used Google® Maps to guide me to find Decamp Trail of Red Trail (or opposite trail names) in complete dark, with only a cheap cellphone light! It worked much better than trying to use MapMyWalk or the other hiking trail all I had. MapMyWalk is great though. Used the app to track my hike. :-)"
"Great places to get some steps in! Beautiful time of year with all the colors."
"I really enjoy going to this park. Lots to do from nice hikes to beginner friendly bike trails and fishing are just a few things. Go for a small hike or spend the day bring food go for a longer hike and disconnect from the world and go back to yalls roots (pun intended)"
"Nice park for group picnics. You can rent the pavilion so you and your group are covered rain or shine. Plenty of parking. baseball field, open field and horseshoe pit all near by. Plenty of hiking trails. We had a picnic at the Pavillion today and had a great time. It started to rain but we were protected from the elements. Just wish it had electric."
"Pure nature. Great place for hiking. Don't forget to wear comfy shoes and a bottle of water. They need more parking spaces. Other than that it was a great experience."
