Vote in our poll and let us know why you prefer to take your pet there.
With the warmer weather coming, it's time to put out those paws for a nice long stretch, grab a leash and bring your pooch outdoors. When compared with other local communities, Montville is fairly pet-friendly with parks and walkways, hiking trails and even a gated dog park for canines large and small to run around, socialize and sniff. On a sunny day, dozens of owners and their dogs can be seen taking advantage of the park, tails wagging and all. But some prefer a more traditional outdoor experience with their pup and might consider a hike on the Blue Trail at Pyramid Mountain (just make sure to check for ticks when you get home). Whether you're wrestling your dog in your own backyard or taking Toby on a trek through the Montville …

Despite county ending hunting season early at Pyramid Mountain for PSE&G power line project, township official said Montville will allow hunting through the end of the month.
While hunting at Pyramid Mountain has been cancelled by Morris County, one local official said Montville will not be putting any regulations on the hunting season to stop hunters from shooting at the park because of ongoing work on the PSE&G Susquehanna-Roseland power line project. The Morris County Park Commission sent a letter to hunters advising them that the hunt was being cancelled early this season as work continues on the power line, which runs through parts of Montville, Boonton, Kinnelon, Jefferson and other municipalities. The Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area is located in Montville and borders the Borough of Kinnelon. According to the letter sent to the hunters by Kelli Kovacevic, superintendent of natural resources …

County asks hunters to cease deer hunting at Pyramid Mountain as work on PSE&G Susquehanna-Roseland line is expected to pick up in next few weeks.
Registered hunters are being asked to put down their guns and bows at Pyramid Mountain even though deer-hunting season is not yet over as work is expected to pick up on the Public Service Energy and Gas (PSEG) Susquehanna-Roseland power line project. Kelli Kovacevic, superintendent of natural resources management for the Morris County Park Commission, reached out to Montville Township officials to say hunters who have purchased permits to shoot at Pyramid Mountain have already been notified of the cancellation of this season's hunt in the park. The early cancellation (the hunt typically lasts throughout January) is a result of the under-construction PSE&G power line. The 500-volt line project, which began with a pre-construction phase in …

They wonder if the Morris County Park Commission and utility company, in choosing Valhalla Glen, have settled on the best route.
PSE&G is planning to walk and use "mules," essentially all-terrain golf carts, on a popular Turkey Mountain hiking trail so the utility company can install the controversial Susquehanna-Roseland power line, the executive director of the Morris County Park Commission said at the commission's Monday meeting. The company needs access to the power line that runs over Turkey Mountain so it can install new lines that have twice the height and capacity. Representatives of the Lake Valhalla Club and Valhalla Civic Association who attended the Park Commission meeting, held at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, said they worry about how the traffic will harm the area, and wondered why the Valhalla Glen trail was determined to be the best way to access the…
