️ Nature & Scenery : The town is bordered by the Pompton and Pequannock Rivers, and Woodland Lake adds a scenic touch to the southeast. If you love morning jogs by the water or weekend kayaking, this place delivers.

Location Perks : You’re just 5 miles from I-80 in Wayne, and about 22 miles from Franklin. It’s close enough to NYC for a day trip, but far enough to escape the chaos.
