Garrett Mountain Reservation

When I was young, my family often picnicked at Barbour's Pond at Garrett Mountains in the summer, and I ice skated there in the winter. The mountain overlooks Patterson, Passaic and Clifton.  We used to be able to watch the fireworks from all the cities there on the Fourth of July. The park is a little over 500 acres with equestrian trails, two levels of picnic areas, a large field where concerts are often held,  and Lambert Castle.  In the castle is a museum, but it is closed October 15th thru December 15.  Were were  able to get a picture of only the back of the observation tower.  Next trip, we hope to be able to tour the castle.
