Woodbridge Creek (N)
( 40.58555, -74.26267 )
The island that the Statue of Liberty stands on – Bedloe’s Island – is in New Jersey, but actually belongs to New York, mostly. The artificial (landfill) parts of the island and all the waters around it belong to New Jersey, while the statue itself and the center of the island belong to New York. This is clear proof that some judges are idiots. Rather than fight over this stupidity, the two states share jurisdiction. Many years ago New York was also given ownership of Staten Island, a lucky break for New Jersey.

This site varies, depending on when you go there. During the summer, and especially on weekends, there can be a lot of motorboats around. Other times, you can have the whole place to yourself.

Lake Carnegie is a reservoir that straddles the borders of the towns of Princeton, West Windsor, Plainsboro and South Brunswick in Mercer and Middlesex counties in central New Jersey. The lake was created by construction of a dam along the Millstone River, though the lower portion of the lake actually follows the valley of its largest tributary, the Stony Brook, while the Millstone River crossed under the D&R Canal to the south. The lake is about three miles long, but only about 800 feet wide.

Lake Lefferts
( 40.41181, -74.24096 )
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. It may look like water, but trust me – don’t go there.

This is about the smallest body of water I would consider – more of a pond than a lake. But it is a nice place. Access could not be easier, the parking lot goes right down to the water. If you live nearby, it is a good place for a quick ‘dip’. To go a little farther, you can hop over the railroad tracks and get into the far section and a little ways up the byzantine creek that fills the lake.
