Kinnelon is a pleasant residential community located in north-central New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,248. It's a mostly suburban community with many parks and trails and recreational opportunities in the area. Kinnelon is home to 1,000-acre Silas Condict County Park and Pyramid Mountain Natural Historical Area. The latter is home to famous Tripod Rock, a multi-ton glacial erratic or "perched boulder." This Precambrian gneiss boulder, located near the edge of a long ridge, is balanced on three smaller boulders. The point of contact between the main boulder and the 3 smaller support stones form an approximate 3-4-5 triangle. Tripod Rock is an estimated 140 tons. Other attractions near Kinnelon include Splitrock Reservoir, which borders Kinnelon and Rockaway Township. Splitrock is 625 acres of wilderness with a lake nestled back in the woods about a mile down a dirt road. Activities include hiking, fishing and boating. The reservoir is stocked with catfish, crappie, sunfish, perch, pickerel and bait fish. There is no shoreline fishing at Splitrock, but a new parking area provides a launch for fishing boats, kayaks or canoes. It's the only public boat launch for the lake. There are also several hiking trails of varying difficulty at Splitrock. A 13.8-mile loop trail is accessible from the parking area.
