   Right on the border of Cedar Grove and nearby Montclair, the Mills Reservation is 157 acres of wooded wonderland. This pawesome reservation is beloved by local dog owners for its easily walkable trails. The main loop can be walked in just about under an hour by athletically inclined pooches and their owners, but there are a couple of other pathways to explore off the beaten track! Parking is available on both the Cedar Grove and Montclair sides, and there are trash cans throughout the county park, but remember to bring your own water and bags.

   The Hilltop Reservation in West Cedar Grove is a fun hike for most of the year, but it's extra special in fall, when the natural deciduous woodland bursts into a riot of color that has to be seen to be believed. Make no bones about it, nature loving pups will love exploring the miles of trails winding through this vast county park, but keep them on a short leash if they’ve a tendency to tear off after squirrels and other wildlife! Despite the name, there’s not much of an incline on most of the trails in the Hilltop Reservation, so it’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

   You’d have to be barking mad not to take the trip to the Brockdale Dog Park in Montclair!

There are separate areas for large and small dogs, plenty of seats for owners, and water and bags are provided, so all you need to do is BYOB (bring your own beast)!

   The Watsessing Dog Park in Bloomfield may be a twenty-minute drive from Cedar Grove, but it’d still be a huge faux-paws to give this off-leash area a miss! Unlike the Brockdale park, there’s no doggy obstacle course, but there’s still enough space in both the small and large dog area for a spirited game of catch! There’s plenty of seating for humans, and the park is well-shaded, so you can take your pooch here in the summer without worrying about them getting overheated. There are two doggy drinking fountains, and bags are provided on-site.
