Jayne's Hill, Summit and mountain in West Hills County Park, Suffolk County, United States.

Jayne's Hill rises to an elevation of 400 feet above sea level, making it the highest natural point on Long Island, New York.

The summit was initially known as Oakley's High Hill Field in 1825 and measured at 354.5 feet according to historian Silas Wood's records.

A boulder at the summit displays a plaque with Walt Whitman's poem Paumanok from Leaves of Grass, commemorating the author's connection to this location.

Visitors can access the summit through the white-blazed Walt Whitman trail within West Hills County Park, with convenient parking facilities nearby.

Environmental activists and local residents successfully prevented the construction of a radio tower on the hill in 1980 by physically blocking construction equipment.
