Natirar Park in Peapack-Gladstone, NJ
If you’re a hiker, biker or fisherman, you can find your paradise only an hour outside the city in Natirar Park, a 404-acre property in the scenic hills of Somerset County, NJ. Natirar, an anagram for the Raritan River that meanders through the property, offers walking and biking trails through the extensive lawns and woodlands. The grounds also feature historic farm buildings, river access and scenic views of the turning leaves throughout. Pack a sandwich to spend a brisk fall day in the park, which is easily walkable from the Peapack-Gladstone stop on NJ Transit.
