Milton Lake Park — Attraction in Rahway

Milton Lake Park is a beautiful place not just to visit but to live. I've been a resident here for over 5 years and I couldn't be happier. The people are incredibly friendly and if you like fishing, canoeing or just taking a walk... this neighborhood is the best! Plus, it's a short drive to downtown which has many great restaurants as well as entertainment such as the Union County Performing Arts Center and the Hamilton Stage. Rahway overall is a great town to live! I'm happy to say, I am a real estate agent and I have worked with many wonderful families in my town! Contact me if I...

Disappointed. Parking is only available on the street- Midwood Dr, closer to the intersection with the Lakeside Drive. There are many houses around the lake so for the most part the access is blocked off. On the Midway Dr there is a small opening where you can actually get close to the lake. On the right there are houses so walking by the lake feels like you are in someone’s backyards I have tried the “trail” upstream, and the green area to the left of the opening but is filthy and there is trash everywhere. Plastic bags, bottles, cans... And we cross our path with a big snake.....

No doubt, its a calm and serene place to be with nature. But its far less appealing than the pictures and descriptions on the web/google. The sound of water fall is mesmerizing. The lake looks little scary if you go with kids. The google map direction takes you to the wrong side and there is no parking or comfortable approach. Instead go around the lake and you can get some street parking. Some benches would make this place...
