Lovely place for a hike. Went with kids so the wide flat path was perfect. The main lot is closed as well as the kayak rental for the time being.

I waited for summer to come to bring my kayak here. It’s sad that it’s July and parking is still closed. I hope it’ll be open soon

Beautiful but why is it closed? Who is G. Donch and what happened to Franklin Parker?

I loved Franklin lakes nature preserve. It used to be a great park. But now
Who is G. Thomas Donch Why is the main entrance/ parking closed Why did whoever decide to get rid of the trash receptacles There is trash everywhere. People pick up doggie poo and with no place to throw it out they just leave it on the ground, which is even worse.

Great place all the one star reviews complaining about parking clearly devoid of critical thinking or google maps? There is a lower lot and an upper lot yes they fill up by 12 on nice days (you should expect this go earlier). BUT If you drive down the road after the parking lot there is a synagogue. The street before it has free street parking and you walk across the road onto the trail. I've been to preserves with 0 parking lots... this is why you research instead of Karaning on Google reviews.

Perfect place for a relaxing morning walk. The trails are very clean and terrain is flat, making it an easy walk for most people. Some of the paths deeper into the preserve can get muddy after rain, so you should wear gear you do not mind getting dirty. Plenty of parking available as well.I went around 7 am on a Sunday and it was very quite. It takes ~10 minutes to get to the end of the Island bridges trail.

We love Franklin Lakes! Great spot to take the dogs! Beware of the algae in the water, it’s very bad for animals and humans. There are also a lot of aggressive bees right now because of the short winter. Be safe out there!

The Borough of Franklin Lakes have done a great job with providing a beautiful place to enjoy the lake and nature trail. The only negative is towards some of the people who use the area. Everyone should clean up after themselves and their dogs and take their garbage with them when they leave. Some people' just don't seem to care and feel it's someone else's job to pick up after them. It's just wrong!

they offer opportunities for people to go boating. but is it safe ? the water quality report is from 2019. in addition they claim they test it yearly, but dont publish new reports. If the water is dangerous they need to put on a signs. what if someone is immunocompromised and goes boating.would love to hear an official response, or publish the new results.
