Beautiful Skylands NJ - Merrill Creek Hiking Trail

We hiked around the entire Merrill Creek Reservoir the other day. We took our time, took lots of photos and made it all the way around in about 3.5 hours. I took this picture on one of the many trails at Merrill Creek. This is a beautiful part of the New Jersey Skylands area. Take your kids or your dog and get outside in NJ.

Beautiful New Jersey - Merrill Creek Resevoir

I took this photo at the Merrill Creek Resevoir in front of the bird blind. I'm no pro but in case you're wondering I shot this with my Canon T1i, 18-55mm lens, circular polarizer filter and I used a tripod. The filter darkened the shot but it also added some great depth to the clouds. New Jersey is beautiful, you just need to know where to look.
