Things To Do
Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex
This 2,110-acre nature reserve features a dog park, hiking trails, and a variety of family-friendly activities. We recommend taking a walk or hike and soaking in all the fall colors!
New York City
We're less than 15 miles away from NYC, and there is a direct train from South Orange. Enjoy a Broadway show, visit the World Trade Center, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, or enjoy all the changing leaves in Central Park.
