The Celery Farm in Allendale NJ was as the name suggests an actual celery farm. Sounds about as exciting as celery itself right? Well, do not fear, it is now a 107 acre freshwater wetland preserve and a major birdy hangout.

There are trails including one that goes around Lake Appert which is the main water body in the preserve.

Even birds like to take the whole family for a stroll on the relaxing trails here.

There are two other bodies of water included here such as Phair’s Pond and Blue Heron Pond.  Allendale Brook flows to the east of the preserve.
