You were fortunate to have a wonderful relative showcase a beautiful lake with its amenities. Even though the amusement park is long gone you have those wonderful memories. Perhaps one day you can revisit the lake and enjoy its gorgeous scenery. I did today with another trip to paradise...

Another trip to the area on my off day. The Raptor Trust Center is currently closed. Open for bird rescues and limited reservations. Other places to photograph nearby in beautiful New Jersey. Twelve miles from the Swamp and Raptor Center. Few pine trees in Millington New Jersey...

I saw the signage to the Raptor Trust. I was behind schedule so I went to the trails. In Autumn I will check that out. Thanks. More photos from Thursday. Scenic road toward the refuge. No turtles seen today. I waited seven minutes. Getting closer. Gateway to paradise. Some swamp...

I have arrived at Stirling New Jersey. I am now walking to the park. Stirling New Jersey scene. Heading to the park. One of the trails at the park. Easy to walk on. Even grades are comfortable. I saw different birds. Egrets and eagles and hawks. I startled them so they...

I am on the NJ Transit train to this interesting park. Located near Morristown New Jersey. I will get off at the Stirling New Jersey station stop. Photos later and I will see how many miles I walk today. Temperatures are comfortable right now. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/great_swamp/

I am heading there right now on NJ Transit Gladstone line. I believe Stirling New Jersey is the closest station stop. I will post photos later of my trek. First time visiting there. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/great_swamp/ Looks interesting.

Someone did a computer simulation of that ride. This one shows the actual rollercoaster in 1981. Another shows footage from 1958. Advertising the lake region. Wonderful memories. Great place to visit.

I took some pictures of the east side of the lake. I did pass Silver Spring Drive and saw Bertrand Island before heading back. Amusement park is long gone. Now condominiums are there. Just north of the train station in Lake Hopatcong New Jersey. Got there late so there were less photo...

I am heading to Lake Hopatcong right now. Nice scene in nearby Boonton New Jersey. I hiked on this picturesque road to Mountain Lakes. Access road crosses NJ Transit track just east of Mountain Lakes station. Looking back towards Boonton. Attractive Mountain Lakes station is now...

Thanks for the advice. I shall follow that example. Especially when I visit Batsto for the first time. Many Thanks.

Let me know if there are too many photos. I tend to post too many. Especially since I plan to visit more New Jersey parks. And eventually the south with the pine barrens I do not want to burden the server.

Back home with more photos. Hiked about six miles. After leaving the falls I walked to a nearby park. Saw a cute deer to photograph. Near Garrett Mountain Park. Many trails at Garrett Park. Lambert Castle in the park. Time to head back to Paterson station.

I went back to Paterson New Jersey today. I will post photos later when I get home. I am waiting for the NJ Transit train at Paterson. My YouTube channel has videos I took earlier. I am posting some photos right now.

Thanks again Ben for creating this interesting forum. Although I do not care about hiking into the woods the information about them is still worthwhile. When I read posts about the history and look at the photos from members here it motivates me to walk those same routes. And hopefully I will...

Now I am at Lake Winnipesaukee New Hampshire. My photos from various trips to the lake years ago. I should be posting New Jersey photos but these are colorful. I will be taking New Jersey trips very soon as it gets colorful.

Some more photos from my trips to the White Mountains. In North Conway New Hampshire years ago.

A few of my photos from 1992 near Lincoln New Hampshire. A tourist railroad called The White Mountain Central Railroad. Short ride with a covered bridge and plenty of pine trees. Near Mount Washington.

Some nice pine trees I saw in Piscataway New Jersey. On Saturday not far from the Dunellen New Jersey train station.

I never had anyone question me on my many hikes along numerous roads. I believe as long as you stay away from narrow roads you have plenty of room to avoid getting hit by vehicles. And make sure you appear to belong in that area without looking lost. Obviously walking during daylight hours...

Very interesting trail to explore one day. Seems walkable with level grades. At least part of the way.
