Boonton Fall ~ May 2015
My first visit to Grace Lord Park, NJ.. and the first time I saw Boonton waterfall! Whoa.. what roar! :O
You need to hike along the trails to see and feel its actual beauty. Deep woods, the roar of the waterfall.. and birds! Lovely! I went in May.. so I got birds, and this lustrous green.. If I were living close, I would have gone there again. Great place to be with Nature. :))
The video is a random one.. taken, using my Canon PowerShot SX40 (my sweeto)! :D

Boonton Falls: You've Never Seen New Jersey Like This
These iconic falls are a perfect spot to spend a Fall day. Who would you take along to admire Boonton Falls?
Rockaway River In New Jersey
Check out the Rockaway river as it falls into the mouth of the Boonton reservoir! Surrounded by high cliffs and a historic state park. These sites are for the courageous adventurists who walk the path time and time again to get a glimpse of a beautiful and very powerful waterfall that runs down stream! This would be one of the last fisheries open to the public along the river before it leads to an end on a forbidden and private body of water. All the fish eventually end up in reservoir, so its on us anglers to try to intercept the Rainbow stocked trout!

Grace Lord Park - One Year After Irene
It's been about a year since Hurrican Irene, and on this day I decided to return to Boonton's Grace Lord Park to walk along the trails. While I was there, I got a good look at the damage the flooding from the hurricane caused. The raging floodwaters have heavily eroded the cliffside, completely destroying a chunk of one of the trails. In addition, a multitude of broken trees can be seen along the river, including a huge pile trapped against the supports of an abandoned railroad bridge. Fences have been erected blocking access to the damaged and unsafe trail.
While in the park, we also look at an ancient bridge marked EL 1866, which now serves as a footbridge along the trail. We also see the upper part of the Boonton waterfalls, some people swimming in the river, a closer look at the abandoned railroad bridge and the siding the crossed it, and the remains of a turntable.

The making of A Love Letter to Boonton
Boonton has a new mural that celebrates the town's 150th anniversary and rich history. The mural titled A Love Letter To Boonton was designed by artist, Rob Hessler and is located alongside the newly renovated Boonton Opera House.
In 2016 Ann and Pat Cox, approached the non-profit organization Boonton Arts about the possibility of doing a mural on the side entrance of the Boonton Opera House. The community arts organization puts on the annual Dog Days of Summer and Pumpkin Illumination events in Boonton and have already completed two murals for the town (a large billowing flag on the side of Boonton's VFW post 242 and a Dog Days of Summer mural at Church and Main near the Boonton Holmes Library). Boonton Arts president and vice president, Kristy Brucale Jach and Paul Jach chose the Savannah-based artist, Rob Hessler, not only for his incredible artistry but also his use of history in his work and the incredible amount of research that he puts into each of his pieces.
Rob presented three concepts for the mural to Ann, Pat, Kristy and Paul who unanimously chose the proposal that tells the history of Boonton through it's buildings and historical objects. Once approved Rob spent an estimated 270 hours on research and developing the final drawing. The design depicts five time periods in Boonton's history beginning in the 1800's leading up to present day. Each panel features how the Opera House appeared during those five eras surrounded by other buildings that relate to each time period. The foreground of the mural depicts several objects that refer to Boonton's history such as a trolley car that once went up and down Boonton's Main Street, a Q meter that was invented in Boonton, The Toxic Avenger's Mop from the cult classic B-movie filmed in Boonton and dog sculptures featured in Boonton Arts Dog Days of Summer.
When the design was complete the mural was hand painted by Rob Hessler and several Boonton Arts volunteers over two weeks from April 9th through the 23rd. It was great that the painting of the mural became a community project featuring some of the Boonton area's finest artists generously donating their time and talents, said artist Rob Hessler. The crew went from 9am-9pm every day with an average of 5 painters working at a time. This has been our most ambitious mural to date, featuring over 120 colors and a massive amount of detail on the 6'x46' wall, said Boonton Arts vice president, Paul Jach.
The mural is not visible from the street but is open to the public for viewing. It can be accessed from the Boonton Avenue parking lot near Main Street. We like that this mural will be a special hidden gem for Boonton locals and art enthusiasts to appreciate for many years to come, said Boonton Arts president, Kristy Brucale Jach.

(HD) Boonton's Abandoned Train Bridge, Turntable & Aggressive Rockaway River 5/1/14
- Old Footage -
- This is old footage from May 2014 of the Rockaway River in Boonton, NJ. The influx of water was caused by all of the melting snow after the 2013-14 winter. I visited three waterfalls along the Grace Lord Park Path. Part of the path is closed due to a major landslide caused by Hurricane Irene and Sandy. The river had a very aggressive and powerful current. By the old abandoned train bridge and turntable by the Lackawanna Freight House and URHS Yard, the river spreads out but was no different. Enjoy the video.

(HD) Abandoned Train Bridge (READ DESCRIPTION) (Rockaway River Preview)
All NJ Transit trains on the Montclair-Boonton Line between Montclair State University and Denville were canceled today due to a track washout between Towaco and Boonton station on Thursday, April 28th. Service is said to resume by May 5th. But since I didn't find this out until after I arrived in Boonton, I decided to go have a look at the river. There has been heavy rain for the past couple days, effecting the Rockaway River. The rain has brought strong currents and tons of water downstream. This is a preview, including the abandon train bridge and the waterfall from Grace Lord Park in Boonton NJ.

Enjoy this footage of Inclined Plane No. 9 West, a Warren County Park we have been maintaining the grounds on for years, but never had the availability to show the breadth and scope of the work we do there through our partnership with the Warren County Department of Land Preservation. Don't let this substitute for actually visiting - visit Warren Parks along the The Morris Canal Greenway - Warren County, New Jersey, support the Warren County Parks Foundation and the Explore Warren County Tourism Partnership. History and recreational opportunities await! Learn more about the Morris Canal here and about the New Jersey Youth Corps of Phillipsburg here
