High Tor State Park, State park in Rockland County, United States
The 691-acre park contains South Mountain with two prominent peaks: High Tor reaching 797 feet and Little Tor standing at 620 feet elevation.
The mountain peaks served as signal points for colonial forces during the American Revolution and later as air raid watch locations in World War II.
The Long Path hiking trail traverses through the park, offering views of New York City, Jersey City, and Newark skylines from its elevated vantage points.
The park operates Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM, featuring a swimming pool open between June 15 and August 25.
Composer Kurt Weill maintained a position as an air raid warden at High Tor during World War II, adding to the location's historical significance.
