Ramapo Reservation is the largest park area in Bergen County. Its trails offer access to the Ramapo river (for fishing, Kayaks/Canoes), several ponds, streams, waterfalls, and mountaintop vistas. Access is limited to pedestrians and cross country skiers seasonally. The park is a great place to see wildlife, especially birds including falcons, hawks, woodpeckers, and a variety of ducks.
