List of New Jersey Ponds, Lakes and Reservoirs Open to Public Angling LIST OF NEW JERSEY PONDS, LAKES AND RESERVOIRS OPEN TO PUBLIC ANGLING At last count there were over 4,100 freshwater lakes, ponds, impoundments and reservoirs, one acre or greater, in New Jersey. These amount to over 61,000 acres. This sounds like an awful lot of fishing water, however, because most of them are privately controlled, the great majority of these waters are closed to the general angler. The following list of waters is designed to assist the fisherman in finding a place to fish and to give a general idea of what facilities and species of game and panfish occur at each location. The list is not 100 percent complete and will never be 100 percent accurate, as condi- tions change constantly. We have included only those waters where a good population of desirable species of worthwhile sizes exists and where public access is assured. For a list of Handicap-Accessible Fishing Sites contact the NJDF&W, Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries at PO Box 394, Lebanon, N.J. 08833, call (908) 236-2118 or visit the Division’s website at www.njfishandwildlife.com. —GOOD LUCK— Legend Fishing quality Ownership Angler facilities 1—Very good F— Federal Y— Yes 2—Good S— State N— No 3—Fair C— County E— Electric outboards only 4—Poor or none M— Municipal L— Limited to 9.9 hp max 5—Trout available only during stocking season P— Private U— Unlimited horsepower 6—Trout available during entire legal fishing season Water Nearest Town ATLANTIC COUNTY Bargaintown Pond Bargaintown M&P 18 Y N N N E N N N 4 4 2 4 1 2 4 3 4 4 1 1 4 Birch Grove Park Ponds Northfield M 30 Y N N N E N Y N 4 5 2 4 2 2 3 2 4 3 2 1 4 Corbin City Impoundment #1 Corbin City S 104 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 Corbin City Impoundment #2 Corbin City S 243 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 3 4 2 2 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 Corbin City Impoundment #3 Corbin City S 284 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 2 4 2 2 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 Egg Harbor City Lake Egg Harbor M 30 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 4 4 2 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Hammonton Lake Hammonton SM&P 75 Y Y Y Y E N N N 4 5 2 4 1 2 2 3 4 3 2 1 4 Heritage Park Pond Absecon M 6 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 2 4 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 1 4 Lenape Lake Mays Landing CM&P 350 Y Y Y N L Y Y Y 4 4 2 4 2 2 4 3 4 4 2 2 4 Maple Lake Estelle Manor S 35 Y Y Y N E N N N 4 4 2 4 1 3 4 1 4 3 2 1 4 Makepeace Lake Hammonton S 300 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 2 4 1 3 4 3 4 4 2 1 4 Mill Pond Port Republic M 32 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 3 4 1 3 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 BERGEN COUNTY Bear Swamp Lake Oakland S 48 Y N N N N N N N 4 4 2 4 2 2 4 3 4 4 2 2 4 Campgaw Pond Ramsey C 3 Y Y N N N N Y Y 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 2 4 Coopers Park Pond Bergenfield M 4 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 3 4 Crystal Lake Englewood M 3 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 4 4 4 3 4 4 4 2 4 2 4 Dahnerts Lake Garfield C 4 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 3 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 1 4 Darlington Park Pond Ramsey C 18 Y N N Y N Y Y N 4 4 3 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 1 4 Indian Lake Little Ferry M 6 Y N N N N N Y N 4 5 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 1 4 1 4 Liberty Park Pond Saddle River M 1.5 Y N N N N N N N 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 MacMillan Reservoir Mahwah C 12 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 3 4 2 2 4 2 4 4 4 1 4 Mill Pond Park Ridge M 9 Y N N N N N N N 4 5 3 4 4 2 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 Oradell Reservoir* Oradell P 620 Y N N N N N N N 4 4 2 3 2 2 4 2 4 2 4 1 4 Otto Pehle Pond Saddle Brook C 8 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 3 4 Water Nearest Town BERGEN COUNTY Overpeck Lake Teaneck C 157 Y Y N N L N Y N 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 4 4 2 4 2 4 Ramapo Lake Oakland S 120 Y N N N N N N N 4 4 2 4 1 2 4 1 4 4 2 1 4 Scarlet Oak Pond Ramapo Valley C 22 Y N N N N N Y N 4 5 2 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 3 2 4 Reservation Whites Pond Waldwick M 6 Y N N N N N Y N 4 5 2 3 2 2 2 2 4 2 4 1 4 Wild Duck Pond Ridgewood C 4 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 1 4 Wooddale Park Pond Woodcliff Lake C 2 Y N N N N N Y N 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 1 4 1 4 Zabriskies Pond Wyckoff M 4 Y N N N N N N N 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 3 3 2 4 BURLINGTON COUNTY Atsion Lake Atsion S 62 Y Y N N E Y Y Y 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 3 4 Batsto Lake Batsto S 40 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 3 4 Big Pine Lake Browns Mills M 16 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 2 4 1 2 4 3 1 2 1 1 4 Crystal Lake Willingboro M 20 Y N N N N N Y N 4 5 2 4 3 2 3 2 4 1 2 1 4 Harrisville Lake Martha S 40 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 3 4 Kirbys Mill Pond Vincentown M 5 Y Y N N E N N N 4 4 2 4 1 2 4 1 4 1 2 1 4 Lake Oswego Jenkins Neck S 92 Y Y N N E N N Y 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 Lake Absegami Leektown S 63 Y Y N N E Y Y Y 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 2 4 Laurel Acres Pond Mt.

  • Geologic Site of the Month: Why Is Sebago Lake So Deep?
    Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities February, 1999 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? 43° 51‘ 13.36“ N, 70° 33‘ 43.98“ W Text by Robert A. Johnston Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Introduction Modern geophysical equipment allows geologists to investigate previously unmapped environments, including ocean and lake floors. Recent geophysical research studied the types, composition, areal extent, and thickness of sediments on the bottom of Sebago Lake in southwestern Maine. Geologists used side- scan sonar and seismic reflection profiling to map the bottom of the lake. Approximately 58 percent of the lake bottom was imaged with side-scan sonar and over 60 miles of seismic reflection profiles were collected. This web site will discuss the findings of the seismic reflection profiling. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Physiographic setting Sebago Lake, although second in surface area to Moosehead Lake, is Maine's deepest lake. With a water depth of 316 feet, its deepest part is 49 feet below sea level! Sebago Lake is located in southwestern Maine 20 miles northwest of Portland and 50 miles southeast of the White Mountains. It lies along the transition between the Central Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands physiographic regions of New England (Figure 1). The abrupt change in landscape can be seen in panoramic views from several vantage points near Sebago Lake. Denny, 1982 Denny, Maine Geological Survey From From Figure 1.

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

  • Rice Lake Nature Area
    Rice Lake Nature Area Location: 4120 Bassett Creek Drive Nature Area Size: 9.23 Acres Description The Rice Lake Nature Area is located along the north side of Bassett Creek Drive. The nature area is within a residential neighborhood, although the woods and wetland provide more seclusion than expected for a small urban nature area. Access to the park is through a pedestrian bridge crossing of Bassett Creek, which flows from west to east. In this reach, Bassett Creek is within an incised channel and some bank erosion is present. The creek is bordered by mixed hardwood floodplain forest and hardwood swamp. Reed canary grass is present where there is sufficient clearing, but the understory can be sparse due to heavy shading. Tree removal would likely generate a flush of reed canary grass Rice Lake Nature Area can be accessed by walking an aggregate path, and a boardwalk leading to a floating dock. South Rice Pond, sometimes referred to as Rice Lake, is a shallow basin, with a wide emergent marsh fringe. Small, shallow ponds and lakes like South Rice, are somewhat unique, as they are successionally proceeding from deeper open water to wetland. That natural process can be observed from the Rice Lake Nature Area, by observing the existing habitat and surrounding areas. The Rice Lake Nature Area provides a unique opportunity to provide an unobstructed view of South Rice Pond. Because the park is dominated by wetland, access is limited to a raised trail and boardwalk. Forest and Woodlands The southern portion of the Rice Lake Nature Area is composed of a mixture of floodplain forest and hardwood swamp.

  • Per___1. Based on the Evidence, I Believe That the Lake
    Sample: Scientific Argument NAME _________________ Per___________ 1. Based on the evidence, I believe that the lake _evaporated___. I believe this due to the evidence on card B, C and D 2. On Card B it states, “In the region where the lake is found, planetary geologists have not yet observed any summer temperatures low enough to freeze methane” This is important because This evidence refutes that the lake froze. If the temperature did not get low enough to freeze, it could not have frozen. The only other option would be that the lake evaporated 2. On Card D it states, “Summer days have more hours of sunlight. Therefore, more energy is transferred to the lake in summer than any other season. This is important because If energy is transferred into the lake, this will cause the temperature of the lake to rise. If the temperature rises, there will be more kinetic energy causing the molecules to move faster. With enough energy, evaporation can occur. With more sunlight in summer, there are more hours for the energy to enter into the lake than any other season. 2. On Card C it states, “Summer started in 2002, the lake was there in 2007, there was no lake in 2009, fall started in 2010. Seasons on Titan are just over 7 years long. This is important because Titan is cold, even in the summer, because it’s so far away from the Sun. Even though it’s cold, it is a very long summer. Summer started in 2002 and the lake was there in 2007.

  • The 2019–2020 Rise in Lake Victoria Monitored from Space: Exploiting the State-Of-The-Art GRACE-FO and the Newly Released ERA-5 Reanalysis Products
    sensors Article The 2019–2020 Rise in Lake Victoria Monitored from Space: Exploiting the State-of-the-Art GRACE-FO and the Newly Released ERA-5 Reanalysis Products Mehdi Khaki 1 and Joseph Awange 2,* 1 School of Engineering, University of Newcastle, Callaghan 2308, Australia; [email protected] 2 School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Spatial Sciences, Curtin University, Perth 6102, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: During the period 2019–2020, Lake Victoria water levels rose at an alarming rate that has caused various problems in the region. The influence of this phenomena on surface and subsurface water resources has not yet been investigated, largely due to lack of enough in situ measurements compounded by the spatial coverage of the lake’s basin, incomplete/inconsistent hydrometeorologi- cal data, and unavailable governmental data. Within the framework of joint data assimilation into a land surface model from multi-mission satellite remote sensing, this study employs the state-of-art Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment follow-on (GRACE-FO) time-variable terrestrial water storage (TWS), newly released ERA-5 reanalysis, and satellite radar altimetry products to understand the cause of the rise of Lake Victoria on the one hand, and the associated impacts of the rise on the total water storage compartments (surface and groundwater) triggered by the extreme climatic event on the other hand. In addition, the study investigates the impacts of large-scale ocean–atmosphere indices on the water storage changes. The results indicate a considerable increase in water storage over the past two years, with multiple subsequent positive trends mainly induced by the Indian Citation: Khaki, M.; Awange, J.
