Trails:

11/11/04.  I parked at Joseph G. Lurker Park in Morris County.  I picked up the white-blazed Patriots Path east, headed over River Road, then over the bridge spanning the Passaic River, and then over the rail and into West Essex Park, Essex County Park Commission land.  Here it was hard going as the trail was overgrown primarily with wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius) and secondarily multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora).  In a short walk I reached the parking area of the Essex County Park Co
