South Mtn Reservation- Tulip Springs Parking Lot
Off Pleasant Valley Way/Cherry Lane
West Orange, NJ, US
Moderate hike and then Dinner at Mc cloones. This hike takes in a viewpoint from historic Washington Rock, Hemlock Falls, and the Rahway River.
6.0 – Moderate, somewhat rocky trails. A few easy stream crossings, and one over the Rahway River that may be tricky depending on water level/rock shifting.
Historic Fun Fact: Washington Rock is where a signal beacon warned the Army at Morristown of the British Army’s approach.
Fairy Fun Fact: There are whimsical, tiny “fairy houses” along parts of the Rahway trail, made entirely of natural materials to fit in with the landscape.
