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. |
