In Montgomery, NJ, the great outdoors are right at your doorstep. From the majestic wildlife and of Sourland Mountain Preserve to the serene 250 acres of parkland at Skillman Park, there are plenty of spaces in the township where you can go and be in nature.

Sourland Mountain Preserve is located in both Montgomery and its neighboring township Hillsborough, and offers multiple trails for hikers of all skill levels, from Pondside Trail, a simple 0.5 mile path, to the Sourland Mountain Ridge Loop with the Roaring Brook Trail Extension, a moderate 6.1 mile climb that takes you to the top of the mountain and offers beautiful woodland views along the way. For something in the (literal) middle, look to the Inner Loop Trail, a rocky trailway with a forested feel.

For a more domesticated parkland experience that still offers lots of greenery and the opportunity to get some fresh air, visit Skillman Park — an ideal place to leisure, complete with a 2.2 mile loop, a dog park, an overlook and more.
