Embark on the Oradell Reservoir Loop for a refreshing road cycling experience, offering scenic views and a peaceful escape. This moderate 32.2-mile (51.8 km) route challenges you with 968 feet (295 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 2 hours and 19 minutes to complete. As you cycle, you will enjoy the tranquil atmosphere along sections like Lake Shore Drive, with glimpses of the reservoir and its surrounding natural beauty.
When planning your ride, be aware that while most of the Oradell Reservoir Loop is well-paved, some segments may be unpaved or consist of gravel. This could present a challenge for traditional road bikes, so consider your equipment carefully before you set out. Ensure your bike is suitable for varied surfaces to enjoy a smooth and uninterrupted journey around the reservoir.
The Oradell Reservoir Loop is notable for its abundant wildlife, even with the reservoir itself being fenced off. Keep an eye out for deer, various bird species, and even majestic bald eagles and ospreys soaring overhead. This route provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature and observe local fauna, making your cycling adventure more engaging than just the physical challenge.
