Lake Lefferts is a man-made lake, the result of the construction in 1928 of Lake Lefferts Dam, which captures and stores the flow of Matawan Creek. This is the nicest spot in northern Monmouth County. The lake is in three parts:

• The lower part that contains the dam and the launch area and extends up to the Route 34 bridge. This part is fairly deep and free of obstructions.
• The upper part from Route 34 to Route 516. This part is much shallower and weedy, especially at the far end.
• An unusable section beyond Route 516. This part is pretty much just mud.
