Garret Mountain Reservation sits on a ridge above Paterson and Woodland Park, with wooded trails, Barbour’s Pond, and an overlook with views of the New York City skyline. Lambert Castle sits at the base of the mountain. It’s one of the easiest places near Clifton for a long leashed walk with real elevation and views, and the county keeps it open daily from sunrise to sunset.
