Geography:

12.13 square miles.  55% of the Township consists of vacant land, parks, conservation and open space areas, due principally to the existence of wetlands, flood plains and steep slopes.  47% of the township is public parkland.

The highest elevation in Long Hill Township is 449 feet above sea level (northeast of the intersection of Long Hill Rd. and Gillette Rd.).

Long Hill Township is bordered for 12.4 miles by the Passaic River.  This is approximately 15% of the entire length of the river.

The longest straight line you could walk within the township is 6.3 miles.  Wear boots, since both ends of this walk are in wetlands.
Food for thought.  6.3 miles is also the straight-line distance between Shea and Yankee Stadiums.
