Mahwah

Nestled between lakes, rivers, and forests on the border of New Jersey and New York, Mahwah makes for a relaxing escape for the noise of the city. During the day, stroll through 200 miles for trails at Dater Mountain Nature County Park, enjoy fresh powder at Campgaw Mountain Ski Area during the winter, or go birdwatching or fishing at Norvin Green State Forest. If you're looking to truly get into nature during the day, a drive to Bergen County Campgaw Mountain Reservation yields some of the most pristine and solitary glades skiing around. After a long day in nature, indulge in some French cuisine at Saddle River Inn, both highly-rated and a locals-favorite.
