Lord Stirling Park, Basking Ridge, New Jersey, USA

The park displays a diverse ecosystem in floodplains of the upper Passaic River and its contributors and contains swamps, fields, forests, brooks, marshes, and meadows. It is home to the Somerset County Environmental Education Center which contains 425 acres and provides educational services for visitors and contains a gift shop; it is also the starting point for a number of hiking trails for the exploration of the park. The Lord Stirling Stable is an equestrian center with stables, an indoor arena, outdoor rings, and about 10 miles of dedicated horseback trails in its 366-acre section of the Lord Stirling Park.

The area was prehistorically part of the Glacial Lake Passaic. For thousands of years it has been inhabited and current archeological sites explore the artifacts of the Lenape civilization. The park is named after William Alexander, Lord Stirling, a general of the American revolution 
whose estate included the area. His manor is in an unopened part of the park.
