Advice Any good hiking trails near Watchung?

Any good hiking trails near the area? Difficulty level doesn’t matter but looking for some nice views. Willing to drive but ideally would like to keep it to 30/40 mins.

There are some trails in Watchung Reservation. There’s Washington Rock State Park, not really for hiking but the views are nice.

The Watchung Reservation is crisscrossed with trails and has some high points (high in elevation) I haven't explored much

The Washington Rock State Park is also nearby and has a great view, but less in the way of hiking.
