A Guide to Green New Jersey: Nature Walks in the Garden State

by Lucy D. Rosenfeld and Marina Harrison

New Jersey is a state of surprises. Did you know there was a castle in Passaic County? Or that Essex County's Branch Brook Park, rather than Washington, D.C., has the largest concentration of flowering cherry trees outside of Japan?

Must Have Book To Hike New Jersey

Great Book about where to hike in New Jersey & gives local history on the places in the book. From north Jersey to south jersey this is a great book to buy !

more then just nature walks, a true treasure trove

I bought this book mostly because I am buying a lot of books about NJ and because I enjoy hiking. I truly didn't expect to learn anything I didn't already new but I was genuinely surprised. The book managed to avoid being simply a description of every state and county park by throwing in a wide array of things to do that involve long walks, including butterfly zoos, vineyards, battlfields, arboretums and flower gardens as well as cemteries. This variety truly keeps it intersting.If you enjoy being outdoors, this book will surely show you something you didn't know existed, and make you yern for a day off from work and a warm sunny day
