Van Slyke Castle Hike

Van Slyke Castle, Wanaque, NJ 07465, USA

About

A 3.1-mile moderate loop in NJ with two big payoffs... the crumbling stone ruins of a 1910 mansion (walls still standing, trees growing through the middle, old pool and water tower to explore) and on a clear day, views of the NYC skyline from the ridge.  Kids can roam freely through the ruins and it genuinely feels like a find.
