Saddle River County Park

Saddle River County Park is a 596-acre green space spanning five municipalities along the Saddle River, featuring multiple ponds, waterfall areas, and recreational facilities. The park divides into separate but connected sections accessible to visitors throughout the region.

The Easton Tower, a mill structure from the 1800s located beneath Route 4, survives as a preserved landmark within the Paramus section. This structure reflects the industrial past of the area before its transformation into public green space.

The park's five interconnected sections provide gathering spaces where local communities participate in outdoor activities, sports, and social interactions throughout seasons.

A paved pathway connects all park sections and runs about 6.8 miles (10.9 km) from Ridgewood to Rochelle Park with regular water fountains and restrooms along the route. Benches are spaced throughout for resting and enjoying the surroundings.

The Otto Pehle Area features a 0.75-mile loop around a fishing pond where visitors with proper licenses can catch stocked trout and bass. This section offers an unexpected quiet fishing experience within the larger recreation landscape.
