Entrance to the Cannonball Trail is on the other side of this soccer field accessed from the end of Barbara Drive in Pompton Lakes.

My friend Mike pointing out the trail marker leading up the hill into the woods on the other side of the soccer field.

First hill in the Cannonball Trail heading out from the Pompton Lakes end.

A serene shot of the path leading along the edge of the Dupont fence line on the Cannonball Trail

A view of the bridge that crosses 287, the bridge is easily viewed from 287 and is marked with a Cannonball Trail sign.

A view of a little island in Ramapo lake as seen from a small lookout point off the Cannonball Trail

Two markers on the tree in this photo indicate a turn in the trail.

The three white markers seen on the tree indicate the endpoint of the Castlepoint Trail.

A nice place to stop on the way up to castle point for some lunch and map reading.

The view uphill from our lunchspot on the Castlepoint Trail

Ramapo Lake as seen standing on the wall just under Castle Point.

I really like this tree and have taken many photos of it, likely you'll see more of this...Ramapo Lake in the background.

A shot of the overgrown ruins of the old mansion up at Castle Point

A shot of the Castle Point water tower ruins.

Looking out from a spot on Castle Point, I like the framed effect of the trees in this shot.

Yet another steep hill to climb towards the opposite end of the Castle Point trail, dig in and climb...

A hill leading up and out of a small valley along the Castle Point trail.

Another shot of the rocky terrain found on the Castle Point trail.

These rocks reminded me of the Rush Test for Echo cover art, and since I love RUSH, I had to take a photo of them...

Views of Castle Point in the fall.

A spot where Bill and I broke for up at Castle Point.

Yes, the one and only shot of Michael Munno on this entire web site, can you find the Munno in this shot?

Here's my favorite tree taken from another angle and in the fall.

A view of the Wanaque valley in early fall from Castle Point.

Caught a few sunrays shining down through the filtered light, just thought this shot looked cool and wanted to share.

A nice sharp incline of rocks you must climb over when going along the yellow trail from Skyline Drive.

Another view of the rocky trail, this terrain is fun if you like climbing.
