There is nothing like a walk outdoors to explore! Check out a list of trails and outdoor places to explore in Essex and Passaic Counties and beyond.
Please note that I haven't been to all of these places yet. I advise looking online to make sure these places are open as they are sometimes temporarily closed for upkeep.
