Houvenkopf or Hovenkopf Mountain is a mountain in Mahwah,[3] in Bergen County, New Jersey, extending into New York, where it forms the western side of the southern entrance to Ramapo Pass. The major peak on the New Jersey side rises to {{convert|931|ft|m|0}} and is known as Stag Hill. It is separated by a deep saddle from the major peak on the New York side, the "Hooge Kop" proper, which rises to about {{convert|770|ft|m|sigfig=2}} and overlooks Hillburn to the north and Suffern to the east. It is part of the Ramapo Mountains.

History

The mountain's name is derived from the Dutch "Hooge Kop", meaning "High Head". Locals used to spread grain around the summit boulders and catch passenger pigeons.

The mountain was the subject of a poem, "Mount Houvenkopf", by Joyce Kilmer, written in 1918.

Parts of the mountain, including the summit of Stag Hill, are now part of the Ramapo Valley County Reservation and are publicly accessible.
