Long Pond Ironworks State Park features the remnants of buildings from the once industrious ironworking community that settled in the area. Located in the community of Hewitt in West Milford, the park rests on the banks of the swiftly flowing Wanaque River and has several structures dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, including furnaces, old stone walls, casting house ruins, waterwheels, ice houses, and charging areas. The waterwheel and the Old Country Store have been lovingly restored to their former glory and now house the Long Pond Ironworks Museum. Facilities and activities in the park include birding, boating, canoeing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
