Brushwood Pond

Brushwood Pond (4 acres) is a pretty little manmade pond in Ringwood, Passaic County. It is Ringwood State Park.

Getting There

Brushwood pond is the fourth pond on the (very pretty) Five Ponds Loop Trail, assuming that one goes clockwise from Parking Lot C. It is the pond after Weyble Pond. The following images show the section of the trail between Weyble and Brushwood ponds.

One cannot launch from anywhere near the Five Ponds Loop Trail. Instead, when the trail does a sharp turn to the north, take two old tracks around to the south end of the pond. Launch at the dam.
