Watnong Mountain is a mountain in Morris County, New Jersey. The major peak rises to 965 feet (294 m). It is located in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township and overlooks Morris Plains to the east. It is part of the New York–New Jersey Highlands of the Reading Prong.[citation needed] It was used for signaling and as a lookout by troops of the Continental Army, who left a large stone staircase up the mountainside.[3]
