Refreshing Breeze

Have you ever thought how nice it would be to sit amidst rocks and enjoy the cool breeze??

Take a stroll at New Jersey's hidden jewel, "Hacklebarney State Park" for free!!!

When we took the exit from the highway road, we wondered if we lost our way.Roads became narrow and whatever we saw was green in color.We realized we were moving in the right direction after we saw a few cars following us.The bridge was too narrow and we waited for the car in the opposite direction to cross. We saw a farm very close to the state park.




Cool breeze welcomed us as soon as we reached the parking lot. We went on the Labor Day weekend and hence felt there were more cars than usual.

After a fleet of steps,the path divided into two.We chose the path which was less narrow.



 It was so nice to see the green tall trees trying to hide the clouds. I am not a person who can walk around without taking rest but at this place, I wanted to walk along the shady trees.We could hear the gushy 'shhh' sound of water.We descended a few steps along the inclined plane to see the "Black River".We walked along the path where we saw the river flowing along with us.

We saw a mini waterfall too. The rocks near this part was too slippery.



Wow!! It was a delightful noon well spent in one of the State parks of NJ.
