PARK AREA ACTIVITIES: Several good field and forest trails are available for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. These trails, along with a dirt road (Hollow Brook Rd.) provide access through the deep-cut Teetertown Ravine, which traces the path of a natural trout production stream through the park. As a companion to a Geology Study Trail, a Geology Brochure, explaining the geological significance of the ravine, is available. Four secluded picnic sites, with BBQ grills & tables are located near the Visitor Center. A 4+ acre Activity Field, adjacent to the group camping area, is ideal for large-scale field sports and skills activities. It is also used for tenting, campfires, and flag ceremonies during camporees. Two ponds are also near the camping area. NJ State Fishing Licenses are required for those over 16-yrs. of age & over; a catch & release rule applies for Large-mouth Bass & Sunfish: Rainbow Trout can be kept, per daily State Limits (w/Trout Stamp on NJ License). A pond-side BBQ & picnic area is available on a non-reservable (first come-first served) basis.
