Hatfield Swamp

Hatfield Swamp

Hatfield Swamp is a wetlands area in the US state of New Jersey, forming what might be considered the "second bank" of the Passaic River between Morris and Essex counties. It is part of West Essex Park and has a number of trails for public hiking. Both the Essex County Chapter of the Sierra Club and the New Jersey Audubon Society lead trips throughout the swamp all year long. Information on trips can be found at the Essex County Environmental Center. The swamp is named for Cornelius Hetfield who owned and operated a mill sometime before the American Revolution. During that struggle, the properties of Hetfield an acknowledged Loyalist, were confiscated and sold to Cyrus Crane. After the death of family member Herbert Crane in the 1960's the mill was dismantled and moved to Allaire State Park, in Monmouth County.
