| Gifted to the towns of Caldwell, Fairfield, North Caldwell,
Roseland and West Caldwell for use by residents, Camp Wyanokie is a place
of beauty, serenity and isolation. Camp Wyanokie has been enjoyed by West
Essex area campers, hikers and picnickers since the property was first purchased
in 1919 by a group of local campers. Ownership was deeded to the five towns
in 1972, making Camp Wyanokie a community commitment to the preservation
of open space. Tax- free status was approved for the property on appeal in
1988, so operating costs to the owner towns are minimal. Camp Wyanokie is
administered by a Commission comprised of appointed representatives from
each of the five owner towns with a Management Committee that includes trustees
of the Camp Wyanokie Association. |

Set in 150 acres of forest at the edge of Norvin Green State
Forest, the camp surrounds a sparkling five acre lake. Camp Wyanokie is an
ecological wonderland, offering an opportunity to relax and enjoy nature
at its best. Explore the lake shores and streams for tadpoles, salamanders
and sunnies. Take a walk around the lake to birdwatch or identify animal
tracks and plant species. The forest begins as you approach the camp area
on Snake Den Road, a narrow gravel road which, however, is township-maintained
to serve a few residences in the area.
