Ramapo Lake Loop / Castle Ruins, Lake Views & Wooded Trails

Let's take a scenic and moderate hike in Ramapo Mountain State Forest. This 6-mile loop has a little bit of everything—forest trails, a peaceful lake, and the ruins of an old stone castle with awesome views. It is about 800ft EG and will take 2.5-3 hours with breaks.

What to Bring:

• Sturdy hiking boots/shoes
• Water (at least 2 liters)
• Snacks and lunch
• Sunscreen.
