Darlington Lake

Tucked into the wooded foothills of the Ramapo Mountains in Mahwah, Darlington Lake is the bright, swimmable centerpiece of Darlington County Park. In summer the lake's shore fills with families, anglers and casual paddlers of calm, while out of season it is a quiet walking-and-watching-water destination with lookout points over the water. A 4.3-star favorite with hundreds of visitor ratings, it is one of Bergen County's most beloved single-day outdoor escapes.
