Ramapo Mountain State Forest, State forest in northern New Jersey, United States.
Ramapo Mountain State Forest spans 4,000 acres of woodland terrain with numerous trails winding through deciduous forests and around the central 120-acre Ramapo Lake.
The forest lands were originally inhabited by Lenape Native Americans, who named the area Ramapo, meaning 'coming together' in their language.
The forest provides a natural classroom for environmental education programs where students and researchers study local ecosystems and wildlife populations.
Visitors can access multiple parking areas and trail entrances, with maps available at information kiosks and downloadable through the New Jersey State Park Service website.
From specific viewpoints within the forest, hikers can see the New York City skyline while standing amid untouched natural surroundings.
