Kinnelon () is a borough in Morris County, New Jersey, United States, located approximately 33 miles (53 km) west of New York City. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 10,248, reflecting an increase of 883 (+9.4%) from the 9,365 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 895 (+10.6%) from the 8,470 counted in the 1990 Census. It is a low-density, suburban community, with many parks and trails. Once known as Charlotteburg, Kinnelon was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 20, 1922, from portions of Pequannock Township, based on the results of a referendum passed on March 21, 1922. The borough's name comes from Francis S. Kinney, who purchased 5,000 acres (20 km2) of land in the 1880s for an estate that included Lake Kinnelon, and built St. Hubert's Chapel in 1886 on an island in the lake.Kinnelon is home to Smoke Rise, an upscale private gated community that describes itself as one of the oldest gated communities in the United States. It includes more than 900 unique homes located on 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) in addition to Lake Kinnelon.In 2012, Forbes.com listed Kinnelon as 462nd in its listing of "America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes", with a median home price of $630,414.The borough is one of the state's highest-income communities. Based on data from the American Community Survey (ACS) for 2014–2018, Kinnelon residents had a median household income of $156,048, almost double the statewide median of $79,363.

Tripod Rock
Tripod Rock

Tripod Rock is a balancing rock, or perched boulder, located in Kinnelon, New Jersey in the Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area. This multi-ton Precambrian gneiss boulder, located near the edge of a long ridge, is balanced on three smaller boulders. Tripod Rock is roughly 6 m (20 ft) long, 3 m (9.8 ft) wide, and 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) high, weighing approximately 127 tonnes (280,000 lb). A triangular crest runs the length of its top. The boulder is balanced on three smaller stones roughly 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in diameter that raise it above the bedrock by about 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) at its lowest point. The point of contact between the boulder and its support stones forms an approximate 3-4-5 triangle. About 12 m (39 ft) northwest of Tripod Rock are three other boulders comprising a triangle. The two larger boulders are partially balanced on smaller stones (see diagram). The apex rock is about 3 m (9.8 ft) to the northeast. Sighting from a bedrock outcrop near Tripod Rock through the two large boulders, the apex of the rock triangle points across to the next ridge on the western horizon. This line of sight intersects the sunset on the summer solstice. During the early 1980s, Tripod Rock and its nearby stones were surveyed. The sunset point on the ridge at the summer solstice was visible due to gypsy moth defoliation. A large boulder was visible on the ridge at the place of the summer solstice sunset. Within a year of the survey, a home was constructed on that site and the boulder was displaced by earth-moving machinery. As of 1983 the summer solstice sunset was only partially visible near the edge of that residence. Two smaller perched boulders are located northeast of Tripod Rock (not shown on diagram) measuring approximately 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) in diameter. No specific calendar alignment has been noted. Tripod Rock stands on a ridge overlooking a long valley where a massive glacial erratic named Bear Rock is located near a brook. Bear Rock was thoroughly excavated for archaeological artifacts during the 19th century, some of which are reported to be owned by museums. Bear Rock has a large overhang making it a possible rock shelter. While there is no evidence that Tripod Rock was ever used as a solar observatory, it could function as one if a small portion of the ridge across the valley were kept clear. Tripod Rock is presumed to be a naturally deposited, though oddly perched, glacial erratic.
