Long Hill's summit can be reached by a long hike up on the Hewitt to Butler Trail.
Long Hill is a pleasant enough summit, but Manaticut Point and West Brook Mountain also offer interesting climbs and good views.
Some hikers may have difficulty finding the HB trailhead. The HB trail starts a few hundred feet downhill (east) from the Eagle's Nest Hunting Club's (750 West Brook Road) driveway. One must climb over a guardrail to get to the trail. The parking lot for the HB trail is a small two-car turnoff just uphill from the Eagle's Nest Club, on the south side of the road.

Went up Long Hill through Jungle Habitat. Had the lady and the dog with me. Wandered around The meandering trails/roads on the way back. it flurries a bit while we were there.
Also, I created a map so you can view all of the NJ1K peaks in one place. Hoping that something like this can get added to the site eventually.

Short hike through Norvin Green State Park. Parked at the Crescent Drive trailhead and took the Hewitt Butler Trail to the Long Hill summit. Formed a loop using the Overlook and Manaticut Point trails. About 7 miles round-trip. Several sections of the trail were very flooded after the rain we've been having.
