Hacklebarney State Park, State park in Morris County, New Jersey.
The Black River flows through the park between enormous granite boulders, creating multiple waterfalls visible from elevated hiking paths.
In 1924, Adolphe Borie donated 32 acres to New Jersey, initiating the creation of this park during the period known as The Golden Age of Parks.
Native American tribes left evidence of their presence along the Black River through stone formations known as mushpots carved into the riverbank.
The park contains nine marked trails covering five miles, with multiple picnic tables and charcoal grills available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The park maintains a 628-acre designated hunting section separated from recreational areas, while supporting year-round stream fishing in the Black River.
