Petar's View

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.
