Petar's View at Garret Mountain Reservation in Paterson, New Jersey is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that features cliff views of New York City skyline and the Greater Paterson Area.
This is not a hike but rather a short walk through the woods. The trailhead can be found on the eastern side of the parking lot, at the parking coordinates provided. There are no trail signs but rather a discrete path that leads into the woods. After hopping on the trail, you'll want to take an immediate right-hand turn followed by an immediate left-hand turn. After the two turns, walkers will head straight out to the edge of Garret Mountain cliff where you'll find Petar's View. At Petar's View, you'll get 180-degree views of the Greater Paterson Area along with distant skyline views of New York City.
Parking
Visitors will find a small parking lot at the coordinates provided, located just off of the entrance / loop road at Garret Mountain Reservation. The lot, as of December 2023, is large enough to fit just under 1 dozen vehicles.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
Warning
Cliffs: Watch your step by the cliff's edge.

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.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
