Gone Hikin': Watchung Reservation, Seeley's Pond

This listing is the falls at the Seeley's Pond dam on Blue Brook, on Diamond Hill Road at the Berkeley Heights and Scotch Plains line, in Union County's Watchung Reservation. A paper mill once used the falls for power. Gone Hikin' starts at the Seeley's Pond Picnic Area parking. Its route walks out the picnic area drive, turns right on Sky Top Drive, crosses the bridge and takes the trail on the right from a roadside parking area. An unmarked but maintained footpath follows Blue Brook, gives views of Seeley's Pond and leads to the dam at the far end of the pond. It is unclear where to stand to see the falls below the dam. The route description dates from 2013.
