Crow's Nest Overlook at Garret Mountain Reservation in Paterson, New Jersey is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to an old stonework structure known as the Crow's Nest Overlook that provides views of the area.
This is not a hike but rather a short walk that ends at the Crow's Nest Overlook. From the Crow's Nest, visitors will get a neat view of the open fields in Garret Mountain Reservation along with a glimpse into downtown Paterson, NJ. The Crow's Nest appears to be relatively old, but as of December 2023, there was no signage -- it's possible this structure dates back to the Lambert Castle and Lambert Tower era, circa 1896, but that's my own speculation.
Parking
Visitors will find a large parking lot at the coordinates provided. The lot is large enough to fit a couple dozen vehicles as of December 2023.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
