A Very Scenic Area

There are wonderful hiking trails with historic remains of buildings and more along the way. Many seem intrigued by the waterfalls, but there is much more to see. If you don't live close enough to visit, enjoy an "armchair" look through the following videos.

I just really enjoy ironwork products. I would fill my home with them if I could get away with it. Looks like a great place to visit.

I do too....much of the iron was used in making things for war, cannonballs and such. I'm sure there's more than that, have to go again and get deeper into the history, was more into the beauty of the hiking trails and the annual Shakespeare event.

Long Pond looks like an interesting spot. I have never been to New Jersey. It would be great if you would add a choice in your poll so that people who haven't had the pleasure (yet) can vote, too.
