Riverine woodland with meandering South Branch Raritan River, small rapids, stone bridges and mixed hardwoods — excellent for reflective waterscapes, intimate forest scenes and seasonal color. Best at golden hour and blue hour; autumn and after rain give dramatic reflections. Trails are mostly easy-moderate; free county park with parking at the lot on NJ-31. Weekday mornings are quiet; bring insect repellent in summer.
