Winter hike in New Jersey to a waterfall❄️
📍South Mountain Reservation (Lenape Trail - Hemlock Falls)
This hike is relatively easy and quick to the waterfall. On Google Maps, the parking area is called “Falls Parking Lot, South Mountain Reservation”.
From the lot, it’s about a 0.3-mile hike (easy and basically no elevation gain) to Hemlock Falls. We passed another smaller waterfall on the way, as well as a bridge!
You can continue to walk beyond the falls on the Lenape Trail, or other marked trails.

There are plenty of indoor rinks throughout the state, but this blog post will cover the best outdoor ice skating rinks to visit this winter in New Jersey!
