Pochuck Mountain, Mountain summit in Vernon Township, New Jersey, United States.
Pochuck Mountain rises to 1,149 feet in elevation, featuring ancient crystalline rocks that form part of the Mid-Atlantic Highlands region.
The Sussex Railroad extension in 1871 enabled iron ore mining operations throughout Vernon Township, transforming Pochuck Mountain into a mining center.
The name Pochuck originates from the Lenape word Putschek, which denotes a remote or out-of-the-way location in their language.
The Appalachian Trail crosses the mountain summit, with parking available for eight vehicles at the New Jersey Route 284 crossing point.
Local residents utilized a weather balloon demonstration in 1999 to illustrate visual impacts, preventing construction of a 198-foot cell phone tower.
