I feel truly lucky to live so close to a beautiful place to walk/ride or skate. I have been using this path for 27 years and enjoy it even more now that it has been expanded! Yes, it gets a little crowded on the weekends but after all there are a lot of people in Bergen County and we all like to get out and enjoy the scenery of this beautiful path. We just have to remember to be patient and courteous! :)

I watched this path being built in the wooded area that I explored as a kid behind my house. That was in the mid-'70s. At first it was a dirt path. As time went on they paved it. No one really knew about it and I was one of the very few who used it. Little by little it got longer and longer. I knew it was only a matter of time until my well kept secret would be discovered. Now, it's one of Bergen County's nicest accomplishments. Yes, it's crowded on the weekends, but I've learned to share (or wait 'til Monday). It's very clean and full of wildlife. Orioles, rabbits, geese and mallards are plentiful as are all the wonderful dogs that people walk. There are people fishing along the banks and in the water. A very peaceful and beautiful place to get some exercise. It's great when the ducks have their little babies and you see the duck families walking along the side of the path, close to the water. I treasure this place and hope others will continue to respect its wildlife and cleanliness.

With this trail you'll never actually cross a road you are away from motor vehicular traffic. Running along side the Saddle River in the middle of nature so close to NY this trail is a must for joggers, bicyclists, inline skaters, or just those who want to explore a little relaxation and get back to nature in the middle of the busy Paramus area.
