MSNJROADTRIPFIX

So Bergen County has the perfect spot for you and your family on this edition of road trip close to home, we're making a splash at Darlington Lake in moloch, we really want to have a place where people can enjoy coming with their family and this pretty much gives them everything they need. I like to jump off the diving board, it's really nice because like there's like a bunch of things here like to do and stuff like grilling and going in the lake. This is Darlington Lake in moloch, this is a series of three lakes, splash park, Darlington swim lake and we have a fishing lake, they can play volleyball, they can play basketball, barbecue, picnic, swim. People know about this place, people love this place and that's why they continue to come here. It's pretty peaceful how chill it is and I like the lake, I like the scenery walking around with the kids, take them to the park and stuff like that. It was a recommendation for my sister's friend so we decided to come here and try out. So this is our first day and we kinda like it, go on a splash park on the web, it you're climbing, you're pushing You climb up a 10-12-foot amount, then you jump off into the lake, you have to climb back on again. So it's a very, very physical but doable feature. So everything that you imagine that you can do up in a lake we have here, you can't do that in the ocean and you don't have to drive two hours, you don't have to sit in traffic. It's literally only a couple of minutes away. We get to grill, you know, be with the family, everybody gets to enjoy a little bit of everything, there's a little bit of everything out here for everyone to enjoy. There's no place like it. This is what makes Bergen County so unique, so beautiful and that's why we're Bergen County straw And the best part of all that. No traffic just like you said and you're looking for more fun things to do around the tri state area. Watch road trip close to home, that's tonight, that's gonna be on at 7:00.
