really nice vibe, though don't count on riding though the blue trail, its still can be nice to visit just for the views

while a steep climb, great roads through nature with lots of nooks and cranies to explore.

This little coffee shop closes fairly early — usually around 4pm on weekdays, and 2:30pm on weekends. They have a nice selection of drinks, including a juice bar and a latte that features blue spirulina.

This is a piece of a popular road ride, also known as the Chatham Loop, that's generally pretty easy to accomplish.

Osborne Pond, also known as Osborn Mill Pond, is a 20-acre lake home to fish species like black crappie and largemouth bass. The Lees Hill Road bridge that goes over Osborn Pond provides a nice view of this waterway, dotted with greenery on the waters surface. Stop on the sidewalk here for a photo opportunity.

The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Morris County, New Jersey, is a vital habitat for over 244 bird species and other animals. Established in 1960, it became the first wilderness area within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1968. Spanning nearly 7,800 acres, it provides a mix of habitats within the Northeastern coastal forests ecoregion, serving as a crucial stopover for migratory birds along the eastern U.S. The refuge also supports diverse wildlife, including deer, foxes, turtles, and occasional sightings of bears and beavers. The Great Swamp also plays a critical role in flood control and water purification, acting as a natural filter that traps sediments and contaminants while draining the surrounding region and gradually releasing floodwaters during extreme weather.

Great Swamp is a very nice flat (i.e., no climbs) ride through Basking Ridge, Harding, and Long Hill Township.

There are nice scenic views of the surrounding woodlands and Blue Brook to be had from here. There is also a nearby car park too, so you could start your ride from here. There are nearby trails to do and the hilltop paved loop on Watchung Reservation is also a very popular short ride.
