Patriots' Path Improvements Project

Dear Residents,

We would like to inform you of upcoming improvements to Patriots' Path that will enhance the safety, accessibility, and overall experience for all who use this valued community resource.

This work is being made possible through funding provided by a Local Recreation Improvement Grant that the Borough received from the State. The project reflects our continued commitment to maintaining and improving our shared outdoor spaces for residents of all ages.

Phase I of the Construction activities are expected to begin on or about May 1st, 2026. The work will take approximately 2 weeks to complete. The construction activities will take place between the hours of 8 am and 4:30 pm Mon - Fri. Construction activities may include trail resurfacing, drainage improvements, and general maintenance along certain sections of the Path, starting at the Mountain Ave entrance to approximately 2000 LF down the trail. During this time, you may notice temporary closures or detours in affected areas. We will make every effort to minimize disruptions and ensure that work is completed as efficiently as possible.

Mayor Jim Kelly recently presented a S.H.I.N.E. award to Mountain View Middle School teacher Hanna Hall. Hanna is in her seventh year of teaching special education and currently serves as a fifth-grade special
education co-teacher and coach at Mountain View Middle School. Congrats to Hanna and all the incredibly hard-working educators!

TROUT SEASON OPENS APRIL 11TH

New Jersey’s Trout Fishing Season is Almost Here! NJDEP Fish & Wildlife began Trout stocking on March 23rd in preparation for opening day. Mendham Borough Trout Fishing locations are at India Brook Park, and additional locations can be found by clicking on the link below. 

Each year, NJDEP Fish & Wildlife raises and stocks thousands of freshwater fish across the state thanks to the dedicated staff at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Hackettstown State Fish Hatchery. The Pequest Trout Hatchery plays a vital role in raising and stocking over 600,000 rainbow trout annually, stocking over 190 waterbodies throughout the state.

Opening Day of Trout Season is Saturday, April 11. Remember to purchase your fishing license and trout stamp!

HOPE YOU CATCH A BIG ONE!!!
