Mahwah, derived from a Lenape word that means "Place Where Paths Meet," is an idyllic town located about 30 miles northwest of New York City. The Ramapo River meanders through the heart of town, adding majestic natural beauty to the already picturesque Mahwah, which is brimming with lush greenery near the Ramapo Mountains. Horse farms dot the landscape, giving Mahwah a small-town rural appearance even though it is less than an hour from Manhattan by commuter train.
Considered one of New Jersey's best places to live, Mahwah is a beautiful town with several popular destinations, including Campgaw Mountain Ski Area, Bergen County Campgaw Mountain Reservation, Darlington County Park and Darlington Golf Center, Mahwah Museum, and Ramapo College of New Jersey.
