Unplugging at Pyramid Mountain

County park offers far-away feeling nearby.

Sometimes, the best ways to get away are also the simplest.

Located in the northern part of the township and stretching into Kinnelon and Boonton, is a county park with over 1,500 acres of open space, according to its website. The park offers a wide range of different hikes and events for children of all ages, as well as more adult-oriented entertainment like singles hikes and festivals.

However, the real beauty of Pyramid Mountain doesn’t lay so much in its scheduled programming as it does in its offer of solitude. With three different main trails and several other offshoots for varying levels of difficulty, Pyramid Mountain can give residents a chance to get out and exercise in a truly solitary environment. The park service does a good job of keeping the trails free of any marks of human development, offering a free and easy chance for you to get lost with a loved one or with your own thoughts.
