Round Valley State Park Winter Walk
Refreshing sunny winter day hike in a beautiful State Park
The trip report
Although it was a nice hike, on a day filled with sun (great to get some fresh air and sun shine on my face), a few guys backed out or didn't show at all. We found some different areas to explore, chatted with the ice fisherfolk, and were amazed by the number of pines that were down due to storm Sandy. The few of us that did show enjoyed a very nice lunch afterwards with some great conversation and laughs.

About this event
We will meet at 10:30AM to take a pleasant winter hike around the lake area park (about 2hrs). Mostly a walk and talk and get to know each other, catch up type of event. From there we will head on over to a local deli for lunch (Moe's Cafe California)
A Little about Round Valley State Park....The brisk blue waters of Round Valley Reservoir attract swimmers, boaters, fishermen, picnickers and campers to its scenic shore. The Round Valley Reservoir swimming area was created by the construction of an earth dam across a narrow waterway on the west side of the reservoir, separating it from the main part of the reservoir. The reservoir covers over 2,000 acres and is approximately 180 feet deep, the deepest lake in New Jersey. It has a water capacity of 55 billion gallons. The reservoir is stocked with lake trout.
Round Valley is one of the few parks that offers wilderness camping. The campsites on the eastern side of the reservoir are accessible only by hiking or boating. The campers' parking lot is three miles away from the nearest site, reachable by a steep and rugged trail. Cross-country skiers and sledding enthusiasts congregate at Round Valley in the winter months.
