Monmouth County is located in the central portion of the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is bordered to its west by Mercer, Middlesex and Burlington Counties, to its south by Ocean County, to its east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to its north by the Raritan Bay (sharing a border with the boroughs of Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens in New York City, across it). Monmouth County's geographic area comprises 30% water.

Forbidden Zones:

  • Swimming River Reservoir - Colts Neck
  • Glendola Reservoir - Wall
  • Point Pleasant Canal
  • anywhere near the Navy Pier at Belford
  • Shark River Inlet would be crazy
  • Navesink Inlet would be crazy
  • Manasquan Inlet would be suicidal

Deal Lake - Asbury Park

Deal Lake
( 40.23338, -74.01328 )

  1. Deal Lake - Asbury Park (N) ( 40.23759, -74.00784 )
  2. Deal Lake - Asbury Park (S) ( 40.22957, -74.00938 )

This lake has a lot of different branches to explore, and you can actually go quite a long way. The two marked sites are the best accesses for the northern and southern branches of the lake. Unfortunately, located in the middle of Asbury Park, the water is not the cleanest, especially near the railroad and toward the drain at the beach. The 'headwaters' are better.

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.
