North of Route 24 and west of Route 206. Schooley's Mountain Park can be reached from Route 24, about one mile west of Long Valley. Turn right on Camp Washington Road and proceed one mile to park entrance. Park in the first parking lot on the right, near the playground and lake boathouse. The swimming beach on Lake George, with its floating-bridge diving platform, was closed by the county because of low use and continuing pollution problems from a nearby sewage plant, but boating is still available.
Picnic grounds are shaded and a great place to be on a hot summer day.
Later in the 20th century the mountain was a favorite destination of children, with the Morristown YMCA operating a camp, called Camp Washington, on the grounds of what is now Schooley's Mountain Park from the 1920s through the 1950s. The Morris County Park Commission purchased the camp in 1968, and opened the park in 1974. This trail heads southeast to the Falls and the Overlook. There are two miles of hiking and nature trails. There is a directory with a trail map in the parking lot.
