Waterfall Hikes Near Bound Brook, NJ
within 50 miles
Two trips define waterfall season for Bound Brook. North at the Delaware Water Gap, Buttermilk Falls sends 165 feet of water down to a swimming hole, with the mile and a half of trail climbing a stiff 500 feet. Paterson keeps the historic one, where the Passaic pours over a 77 foot basalt ledge a short walk from parking, mill history thick around it. Beyond those two anchors the radius holds 21 falls, mostly quick strolls that welcome a dog.
