Rifle Camp Park

"Serene oasis a hop and a skip away from the urban sprawl with quiet trails to make you feel at ease."

"Very advanced learning tools on the playground, good for app ages 2-7, with infant friendly swings. Clean and specially. Typically not too populated. Dog Park nearby and proper walking trail right out back. Very clean bathroom across the parking lot. Plenty of picnic tables. Love this park!"

"Really nice family park with views of nyc. There’s good places to eat in the surrounding area. There’s a lot of tables, easy to have a picnic or eat lunch in the park. There’s a lot of ticks here though so be careful, I’ve found them on myself and my dogs."

"As a long time resident of NNJ, I have heard about this park but just never visited before. I finally made my way to Rifle Camp Park this weekend. To be honest, I've been to better parks. Some of the scenery was beautiful but it was lacking some impressive. The park only has two trails: red and yellow. The red was easier so if you're looking for more of a challenge, pick yellow. There were more inclines on yellow, rocky terrain, and more interesting scenery as well. I didn't see any maps available at the park to mark the trails but the access points are through each parking lot. The red trail did make a full loop around the park. A big plus is that majority of the hike is shaded. The park has a lot of construction ongoing so hopefully more improvements to come. Overall, I enjoyed my time here but would choose to go another park instead for more challenging hikes."

"You can see New York City from the observatory, and the trails are very nice to walk. We didn't make it to the lake, but even the small pond has wildlife, and the cliffs surrounding it are fun to climb. Final plus: when we went in autumn, it was so fun to swish through all the leaves on the trail!"
