This small lake is about a mile long. The only public launch is at the west end in Stevenson Park, off West Front Street. There is a channel from there to the lake, but good luck finding it - be prepared to run aground. Fortunately, the bottom is firm sand, and a short tow on foot will get you out to deeper water. It is also possible to go a short ways up the creek.

My preferred launch point is on the river behind the little strip mall off Route 527 / Old Matawan Rd. I have never had a problem parking here, although I don't think this would be a good place for a large group to show up. Entry can be messy if the water is low. I wouldn't wear white. The launch site is pretty muddy at low tide, try to hit this spot when there is plenty of water.
