Smoke Rise is an upscale gated lakeside community within Kinnelon in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community was created out of the estate of Francis Kinney, a 19th-century industrialist who founded Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company. The Kinney estate dates back to the 1880s, when Francis Kinney, a pioneer in the tobacco industry, built a huge "summer cottage" here. His son, Morris Kinney, for whom the borough of Kinnelon was named 41 years later, lived most of his life on the estate.
The community encompasses the 19-acre (7.7 ha) Lake Kinnelon and more than 900 homes located on 3,500 acres (1,400 ha). Smoke Rise was planned with philosophy that no two homes would look alike with a minimum size of 2,500 square feet (230 m2) located on wooded lots of 1 to 10 acres (0.40 to 4.05 ha).
The gated lakeside community provides 24-hour security, activities, clubs and special events.
