Alonzo F. Bonsal Wildlife Preserve

Alonzo F. Bonsal Wildlife Preserve [email protected] -
Just 15 miles west of New York City is a 30-acre wilderness and wildlife sanctuary that is New Jersey’s best-kept secret.

There are two entrances - one at the end of Daniels Drive in Clifton, and one in Montclair at the "T" where Riverview Drive meets Riverview Drive West, to the left of 25 Riverview Drive.
