Crossing Pequannock River on a concrete bridge at 1.3 miles., the road enters
the western outskirts of POMPTON LAKES (200 alt., 3,104 pop.) (see
Tour 4). The POMPTOM REFORMED CHURCH and CEMETERY are L. The
church, a handsome white-painted structure of brick with a tall white
steeple and broad double doors, was built in 1814.
The route turns L. on Ringwood Ave.
HASKELL, 3.5 miles. (250 alt.), is a drab community of flat frame bungalows. Its frame FULL GOSPEL ASSEMBLY (R) is almost opposite the
gaudy new building of simulated fieldstone that houses SILVER STAR TAVERN, a popular local beer dispensary. On a big empty lot (R) are dilapidated REMAINS OF A DU PONT PLANT that was busy until 1913, when
operations were transferred to Pompton Lakes.
