HIKE DISTANCE: 4.5 miles (.5 mile longer than the track because I forgot to start recording)
Hiked together with Hugh Force Canal Park, NJ with Irondale Mountain Trails, an 8 minute drive away.

THE HIKE:
Having a snack in the power cut next to the parking lot.
Starting off on the yellow Jackson Brook Trail.
At Indian Falls Road, the trail turns right on the road ...
... crosses the bridge then turns left back into the woods.
Right on the white Hedden Circular Trail.
We turned right on a gravel road heading towards Hedden Pond.
Where we had not run into anyone up until now, this area was insanely crowded with people hovering for parking spots.
We found a quiet spot at the end of a strip of land that juts out into the pond.
The animals found this to be a quiet spot also as they were all hanging out here.
Indian Falls Trail
When green crosses white, a right to continue the loop on white.
At the bench, right on yellow to retrace on the Jackson Brook Trail.
