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

The marker in the lower-center of the map is a super-easy put-in on Whale Creek, above. The other markers are a longer slog over the beach. All have convenient free parking (don't leave your vehicle in the launching area, that's a dick move!)


Turkey Swamp Park - Freehold
( 40.19426, -74.30272 )

  1. Turkey Swamp Park - Freehold ( 40.19577, -74.30435 )

This is a rather small lake with a long shoreline and even a couple of islands. Would probably make an interesting afternoon.


Marlu Lake - Lincroft
( 40.33728, -74.15678 )

  1. Marlu Lake - Lincroft ( 40.33463, -74.15354 )

More of a pond than a lake, only about half a mile long, but accessible in Thompson Park. Never actually been there. Nearby Swimming River Reservoir is completely off-limits, even to the people that live on it!
