エセックス郡の湖・トップ5

Branch Brook Park is the nation's first county park. In 1981 it was placed on the National Registers of Historic Places. There are several trails that run through the park that are popular with joggers and walkers.

Weequahic Park is a great park close to Newark Airport. There is an 80 acre lake, sports fields, a jogging trail (the longest resilient-surfaced - AKA rubberized - running track in the world) and a playground, as well as a picnic area covered by an old stone structure.

This dam was constructed in 1814 to create the Verona Lake. The area used to be swamp land, but the land's owner wanted to create a grist mill, so the dam was added. Now, there is a walkway over the dam that gives you good views of the park and lake.

Verona Park is a 55-acre park that is part of the Essex County park system. There are several trails that run through the park, including the Lenape Trail. The park also has a lake, playground, picnic areas and a restroom.

Clark's Pond is one of the centerpieces of Branch Brook Park. The paths in the park run alongside the pond and there are several spots with benches if you want to take a break during your jog.

There is a path that completely circles around Orange Reservoir, which is fed entirely by the Rahway River. The flow of the river downstream is controlled by a dam that you can actually walk across on the path at the southern end of the lake.
