Description: Green Pond Mountain is a long, narrow ridge in Morris County. Parts of the ridge, including the literal highest point, are off-limits in the Picatinny Arsenal and on the lands of the Green Pond private community.

Nonetheless, much of the Green Pond Mountain north of the Picatinny Arsenal is open to the public. The mountain has unmarked trails following the summit, many of which offer splendid, even unobstructed, views of Green Pond.
