The South Mountain Reservation Fairy Trail
Tucked within the South Mountain Reservation lies a magical stretch of trail where imagination takes flight and fairy homes peek out from tree roots, mossy stumps, and stone crevices. The SMR Fairy Trail, located along a half-mile section of the white-blazed Rahway Trail starting at Locust Grove in Millburn, New Jersey, is a whimsical destination that delights children and adults alike. The Fairy Trail is located at 197 Glen Ave in Millburn, NJ. The trail is free and open to all daily, from sun up to sun down. If you visit, please stay on the designated trail, admire the fairy houses without touching them, and help us preserve the magic by leaving no trace behind. Please email fairytrail@somocon.org if you would like to get involved!
