~ Many Trails to Choose From
Veteran’s Park offers 240 acres of wooded land containing four marked hiking trails, which require different levels of ability.
The blue trail, accessible at two separate trailheads, is mostly an unpaved road with slight hills. Suitable for walking and biking at most levels of ability; length of trail is approximately a mile and a half. Things to look for: large rock outcroppings, and two dirt bikes about 25’ up in the trees.
The gold trail, accessible on Patricia Drive and also at an intersection off of the blue trail, is one of the most challenging trails in town. It winds through the woods and is very narrow and rocky in places, with a distance of 3/4 of a mile. Things to look for: scenic overlook of the Succasunna valley, Table Rock, and other rock outcroppings.
