Washington Rock State Park

Yesterday was a rainy, slow day. We ran in the morning and then hung around the house. Between rain spells, I brought Mason to the park to ride his bike while Gil finished up work at home. By late afternoon, we wanted to go out to do something.

One of the things on my NJ bucket list was to check out the views from Washington Rock State Park. This is the famous lookout point George Washington used to monitor the British troops in 1777.

On a clear day, you can see the city skyline. Yesterday was not clear, so we could barely make out the city but it was a pretty view nonetheless. I definitely want to go back in the fall when the colors are changing.

There's not much to the park, although there were walking trails on the other side of the road we didn't explore.  We didn't spend tons of time there but the view was worth checking out.
