April 18, 2021Great first hike with family and the dog.
April 10, 2021Quiet although some parts run along the road. There was a lot of poison ivy in some parts so be weary with dogs
April 7, 2021Another beautiful day.
January 14, 2021Good overall but okay attention to the map because the white tail is a lot longer then you think. it branches in different directions. very rocky and muddy at times.
January 10, 2021January 2, 2021Nice trail, close to home. Pretty muddy in spots but van be avoided by taking any of the various trails in the park.
November 28, 2020November 22, 2020November 10, 2020Nice trail, nice park. Didn't know this app drains the battery, so will use another mapping device next time.
November 5, 2020Amazing Day! 70degeees in November.
October 18, 2020A very nice 60 deg. autumnal Sunday afternoon hike in the local woods enjoying the changing colors of the trees.
August 22, 2020great for trail runners that are looking for something flat.
February 16, 2020Easy hike. Very flat.
October 10, 2019It’s defiantly not a stroll. There are rocks and thin trails as well as some muddy patches but I overall loved this as a quick hike to get in on a busy day.
October 2, 2019Great hike led by Arlene Fineman.
September 30, 2019Just a romp through the woods. Not very scenic. Rocky and rooty in spots. Paths are a bit tight with undergrowth.
January 6, 2019If you live in Union County this is a great place for a quick hike and to get some fresh air. Parking lot on Glenside Ave was completely filled at 2PM today.
January 6, 20191.6.19. A gentle stroll through the woods, not much climbing (279 feet over 3.6 miles). The White trail is well marked (white square blazes), and near Lake Surprise it becomes more of a network of interconnecting pathways. Not a lot of exciting features (the narrow lake and the Watchung Stables). A bit too much road for my liking, but a decent enough walk. Very muddy after recent rains. We took about an hour and a half but were ambling and picking our way through the mud, so normally I'd say this could be done a bit faster.

First to ReviewFirst part is unnecessary all you pass is a giant white thing with graffiti. Too many roads along this trail. It’s also neither a challenging hike nor a well maintained trail for running or elderly folks.
