Hacklebarney State Park is a 978 acre state park in Morris County, New Jersey. The Black River winds through this rocky park. The park is frequented by anglers, hikers and people looking for a cool place to picnic. Eastern hemlocks provide the shade. The steep ravines of the Black River gorge are dotted with mixed oak. The river empties into a pond where people can swim.
There are 5 miles of hiking trails that vary in difficulty. The trails along the river are narrow and rocky. A majority of the trails are gravel or paved.
A great place to escape the heat during the summer and to see the changing of the leaves in the fall. After a rain storm many waterfalls caused by the massive boulders in the river can be seen from the trail.
Bikes are not allowed in the park. Horseback riding is not permitted in the park. Hunting and fishing are allowed in the park.
Pets are welcome but they must be on leash at all times.
