Glenside Woods is a 0.94-mile loop hike in New Jersey, about 1.8 miles from the community of Lake Mohawk. It is a short, easy outing with a climb of 204 feet, taking you from a low of about 880 feet to a high of about 1,110 feet. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Andover put May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher part of the loop run a bit cooler. Several other outings lie close by. Briar Ridge is 0.7 miles away, and Tamarack Park and the Andover Loop Trail are each within about 3 miles. Climbers can head to the r. Benes area, roughly 3.6 miles off.
