Eagle Rock Reservation
About
Eagle Rock Reservation is an Essex County park in northern New Jersey, about 1.4 miles from Llewellyn Park. Several marked hiking trails start within half a mile of it. Stream Trail begins just 0.1 mile away. The Yellow Trail - Lenape and the Blue Trail are each about 0.3 mile off, and the White Trail is about half a mile away. That makes the reservation an easy base for short outings on foot. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the Essex Fells weather station, about 3 miles away, put May highs near 72°F and September highs near 78°F. July highs average around 86°F. Rock climbers can find more options farther out. South Mountain Reservation is about 5 miles away and Rifle Camp is roughly 5.7 miles away, and both have climbing areas.
