Visiting & Lodging
Pequannock is not a conventional tourist town, but it has more visitor depth than many nearby residential communities: a historic railroad-station museum, lakes and parks, environmental trails, regional golf, community events, Route 23 dining and major event venues.
Pompton Plains functions as the visitor-facing half of the township for many trips because Town Hall, Chilton Medical Center, Route 23, the museum and several recreation destinations use the Pompton Plains address.

Where to Stay
Pequannock's conventional lodging inventory is limited relative to neighboring Wayne and other Route 23/I-80 areas. Travelers commonly use nearby hotels in Wayne, Totowa, Fairfield, Parsippany and Rockaway depending on their destination.
Check the municipality, not just the mailing description. Hotel names in the Route 23 corridor can reference nearby communities even when the property is physically in another municipality.
