Ramapo Valley County Reservation offers a vast outdoor escape at the edge of the New Jersey Highlands. As Bergen County’s largest park, its more than 4,000 acres of hills, valleys, river corridors, and ponds invite visitors to slow down and explore at their own pace. Hike wooded trails, spend time along the Ramapo River, or take in the quiet beauty of Scarlet Oak Pond, where designated tent campsites offer a simple way to stay overnight. Fishing is permitted on a catch-and-release basis with a valid license, and when winter arrives, cross-country skiing adds a seasonal layer to the landscape.
