The Rahway and Maple Falls Trail Loop is an excellent choice for the whole family - kids and dogs included. However, if you are looking to bring your pup along for the fun, you’ll need to keep him on a leash at all times.

The forest holds many secrets. Look closely and you may see the tiny fairy houses. These mythical little creatures call the forest their home. Let us know if you spot a fairy! We are still on the lookout.
