Went here to take photos and hike during the winter. It is very nice even at this time of year and I found a few trails and hiked. There were multiple access points that I entered through, some did have better trails then others but they were all well maintained. Easy river access, so planning to come back and kayak in the spring.

As per some of the other reviews, there's no real/marked hiking trails here, just an old shooting range behind a children's playground and a big area of mixed swamp, trees & overgrown brush. If you want a walk, take a short drive to the Pyramid mountain parking lot & visit Bear Rock & Tripod Rock.

The fishing is excellent but there is often debris in the water that has been thrown in the water. Have seen fox, muskrat, hawks, deer, herons, kingfishers and plover. So good for birding. Definitely good to kayak.

I’ve seen Great Piece Meadows on maps and how big it is but never been in it. So one day I decided to go. I came thru on a side street off of Pine Brook Road there aren’t very many trails and it’s not really a good place to go if you wanna go for a hike. However the Passaic River runs thru the park so if you like to go kayaking or boating I would recommend this place. It’s beautiful but it floods so...
