High Mountain Park Preserve, Protected area in Wayne, New Jersey, United States.

High Mountain Park Preserve spans 1,153 acres of woodlands and wetlands, featuring diverse ecosystems with forests, rocky outcrops, and numerous hiking trails.

During the American Revolutionary War, soldiers utilized the elevated areas along the ridge as strategic communication points to monitor British naval movements.

Native American Lenni Lenape tribes inhabited the land for thousands of years, leaving behind prehistoric rock shelters that demonstrate early human presence.

The preserve contains 11.5 miles of marked trails maintained by the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, with parking available at William Paterson University.

The park protects nine distinct ecological communities supporting 380 plant species, including the globally imperiled Torrey's mountain mint and basil-leaved mountain mint.
