Getting around Boonton and Mountain Lakes on a wedding day
Boonton climbs a hill above the Rockaway River, and Main Street is steep enough that a wedding party in heels needs the car moved rather than a walk. Mountain Lakes next door is a borough of lakes and boulevards with The Mansion at its center, and the two are five minutes apart. Mauricio plans a Boonton downtown stop into a Mountain Lakes day when the couple wants brick and iron alongside the lake.
Guests arrive on I-287 or Route 46; both are five minutes out. Grace Lord Park and the falls have limited parking, so he scouts where the car waits.
Light and places in Boonton and Mountain Lakes
Mountain Lakes’ shorelines face every direction, so there is always one with the sun setting behind it, and The Mansion’s terrace catches the last of it. In Boonton the falls at Grace Lord Park are in shade by late afternoon, which is exactly when they photograph best. Fall color on the lake shores peaks in the third week of October.
