Saddle River County Park

"Happy New Year! Every year on January 1st, regardless of weather, I walk the entire path, which is a distance of a little over 12 miles. It's good to push yourself and it gives you a feeling of accomplishment to start the new year. On other bike paths or rail trails, there are posted signs with bike path rules of etiquette. I wish Bergen County would also post them. I'm sure these rules can be googled. Etiquette goes beyond politeness and consideration. The main purpose is to protect everyone from injury. We are both avid bikers and walkers. You really need to be mindful when groups of walkers encounter groups of cyclists, because you are not alone and everyone has a right to be there."

"Great place to walk around, even when it's full of people there is plenty of room here. Grass space, ample road space. Great for biking, walking, kids, dogs. Relaxing, clean, and spacious. One of my favorite parks."

"I just returned after their restoration of the park. They did an amazing job with it. I couldn’t believe how many deer we saw! They practically come out to take pictures. I can’t wait to go back! Great place to take walks, bring families and pets!"

"Saddle River County Park offers a delightful recreational experience for nature enthusiasts and families alike. With its picturesque trails, serene river, and lush greenery, it's a perfect escape from the bustle of everyday life. Whether you're an avid jogger, a cyclist, or simply looking for a leisurely stroll, the park's well-maintained paths cater to all. The various amenities, such as playgrounds and picnic areas, make it an ideal spot for families to spend quality time together. However, some visitors note that it can get busy on weekends. Overall, Saddle River County Park's natural beauty and diverse offerings make it a wonderful destination for outdoor relaxation and activity."

"Really beautiful park. Love the lake and fountain in the middle. Also caught the beautiful Cherry Blossom trees in full bloom. Only issue is with the bathrooms. The men's bathroom was out of order and there are porta potties. The women's bathroom was open but horribly filthy. No one flushes there apparently and there was no soap at all. There's also a weird sign on the door from the inside that says "If door locks, follow directions" with an arrow pointed left". I posted a picture. But it's really odd and concerning because 1) why would the door lock you in? And 2) the arrow is pointing nowhere. There are no directions, the arrow is pointing to a stall. So I got worried I was locked in, but thankfully I wasn't. Either way, I'd like to know what's with the sign? That whole situation needs to be rectified. Otherwise I definitely recommend the park."
