Schooley’s Mountain is a county park located in Long Valley. The park is home to 7 miles of multi-use trails, but the highlight is a quick 1.5-mile loop featuring two waterfalls along Electric Brook. While neither waterfall is particularly tall, the gorge they are in makes them appear larger than in reality, and they are significantly better than many similarly sized waterfalls. With easy access, plus a trail that also includes an overlook and a scenic lake, Schooley’s Mountain is a great place to spend an hour or two.
