West Milford:
A landscape of more than 40 lakes, ridges and abundant wildlife draw many to West Milford. The township's 80 square miles -including 17,000 acres of protected watershed, open space and state forest - make West Milford the largest municipality in Passaic County. Large-scale development is limited by its vast water resources and protected forests. For those among the town's 28,173 residents who work in New York City, the drive back home can feel like traveling to a different planet.

Three state parks ring West Milford, providing residents with mountain biking, cross country skiing, hiking, boating, fishing and swimming, with many more outlets for those interested in history, arts, and culture.
