Long Hill Township
Skip unless you live nearby or need a quiet stopover in Morris County: half a day for the Raptor Trust and a walk, no overnight needed.
Long Hill is a small residential township in Morris County, New Jersey, with one notable attraction — the Raptor Trust, a wild bird rehabilitation centre. Most travellers pass through on the way to larger towns like Morristown or Summit. A half-day stop covers the bird sanctuary and a short walk; there is no reason to stay overnight.
