Hemlock Falls Maplewood, NJ
This is a perfect hike for families with children 3 and up. It is about a mile away from the Turtle Back Zoo and the miniature golf course. If you stay on the main path it is very straightforward and easy an down to the falls. I went off the main path and went down towards the stream and followed that path down to the falls. This path you will be walking over larger rocks and can be slicker after it rains. When you are at the bottom of the falls there are seats for you to sit at. You can also take the stairs on the left and sit at the top of the falls there. When using a GPS it will bring you to the falls but not to the parking lot. Continue down the road and park at the South Entrance. There a few parking spaces in the beginning and more further down. If you park further down there is an area where you can overlook and in the distance see the NY skyline. This area is dog friendly and further down the road there is a dog park.
