Description: The bulk of Hasenclever Hill is in New York, but the true summit is in New Jersey.

The true summit lies at the right most end of the mountain's crescent shaped top and is defined by a glacial erratic and a nice bald spot to relax. During the summer months, the summit is surrounded by blackberries and blueberries.

If you follow the mountain's summit curve into New York State, there is an OUTSTANDING southerly view, called "Black Rock", sweeping from Big Beech Mountain all the way to the Ramapos. Black Rock is technically a few feet over the border from New Jersey, but the viewshed is entirely New Jersey.
