Lake Henry Sunset Hike

Continental Soliders Park
Bergen Co.,
New Jersey

Hiking Trails:
Lake Henry Path: Unblazed

Total Time: 0:30 Hours
Estimated Distance: 1 Mile
Level of Difficulty: Very Easy
Level of Recommendation: Recommended for a short pretty walk

Points of Interest: Nice lake with waterfowl
Cons: Non Dramatic

It was a beautiful, late December day, with temperatures peaking at 70 degrees! My office is very close to this location, so I took the opportunity to take this short walk instead of my lunch break. It was about 45 minutes to dusk, and I encountered several fisherman as well as a beautiful white swan in a close encounter. The pictures below were taken with my cell phone camera because that is all I had with me.
