  Watchung Reservation offers so much if you enjoy the outdoors.
  
  There's many hiking trails through all types of terrian. I'd say about 85% is easy flat walking and 15% is steep climbing. You do need to watch where you step because even the flat roads are full of rocks and tree roots. Some trails were overgrown and narrow as well. I do think they need more signs to point to where the visitor center is to help orient the hikers since there are so many intersecting trails that can get confusing.
  
  Majority of the hike is under the shade so it is cool during the summer too. But it is bugs galore!
  
  However, I did see many trails littered with garbage. Such a sad sight to behold.

  Lots of simple, flat trail options for kids near the nature center or more moderate hiking trails. Trails are not well marked in some areas, but you'll never get lost as long as you have Google maps.

  A wonderful park and forest for all types of activities and interests. Lots of things to do for kids. We hiked from Nature Centre to Deserted Village and back it was so much fun . Make sure you wear proper shoes if you want to hike.

  Nature center, sensory trail (and other trails) and solar system walk all right there!
  Nature center was a pretty cool spot! Awesome tree at the center with information on different animals that are taxidermy and all within the tree you have to look for. There is a room for kids for some hands on activities and live animals to look at. A small gift shop that was not as pricey as I thought it would be. Restrooms also inside. Free to enter but donations excepted. Directly outside is the short and sweet sensory trail but you can also follow other trails off into the woods in all sides of the building. Don't forget the solar system walk where every step you take is 1 million miles in space. Planet boards are spaced out accordingly. Very cool and informative! Highly recommend for an afternoon on a nice day.

  went here today to go to the Deserted village and it was alittle underwhelming. however, it is very well maintained, clean and a great spot to walk around on a nice day. kid friendly, dog friendly. there is a parking lot up above with a map of trails. there are also clean public bathrooms in the back if the main building I posted a photo of. there is a small cemetery in the woods behind that house as well.
