Winter is here, and that means it is a great time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds throughout the county. From time to time, it's nice to try something new, and our agents know that getting out and exploring the area is a great way to beat the winter blues. If you're looking for some fun in the snow, the following are some must-see attractions this winter.
1. Bergen County's Winter Wonderland
216 Forest Ave., Paramus, NJ 07652
Located in Von Saun County Park, the Winter Wonderland offers plenty of fun for the whole family to enjoy. You can slip, slide, and glide across the open-air ice skating rink. You can warm up and relax in the heated hospitality pavilion and discuss Paramus homes for sale, or enjoy as many carousel rides as you desire. There are food trucks and a beer garden on-site, so there will be plenty to eat and drink as the family frolics and chooses to be merry this holiday season.
2. Take a Statue Cruise
Liberty State Park
Statue Cruises are a fabulous way to explore the area and enjoy fabulous views of the city along the way. Cruising across the waves is a great way to explore some of the region's incredible history, spend time with friends, and discover more about the many people who fell in love with the area and settled in Bergen County homes for sale.
3. Go Fishing
Allamuchy Mountains State Park
Allamuchy Mountains State Park is a fabulous place to enjoy the scenery and some peace and quiet. It's also a local favorite for ice fishing in the winter. If you have ever wanted to try ice fishing, it's a great place to go where you can drop a line in the water and learn how without getting your feet wet.
4. Take a Hike
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is located directly east of Newark. It is the ideal place to get out of town and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Within nearly 8,000 acres of lakes, forests, and trails, you'll see how more than 244 species of birds and countless other wildlife spend their winters. If you're looking for a relaxing walk or a peaceful place to do some birdwatching, this is the best in New Jersey.
5. Ski the Day Away
Lewis Morris County Park
There's a lot to be said for fresh air and exercise. If you are bored with Netflix, tired of shopping, and ready to get away, slip on some skis and head over to Lewis Morris County Park. It is a fantastic place to enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and other wintertime fun. In fact, if you're thinking about Ridgewood homes for sale, it's a great place to clear your mind and consider your options.
