There is a funny little bit of land in near Salem County that is attached to New Jersey, but belongs to Delaware. All rivers change their courses over time, and the land there built up since the borders were drawn in the 1700s, so technically it belongs to Delaware. A consequence of this is that New Jersey law enforcement has no jurisdiction there, and Delaware doesn't patrol it, so it is basically no-man's land. The sensible thing would be for Delaware to simply cede this useless appendage to New Jersey, but neither side seems interested in doing that. New Jersey has enough swamps already.

The Delaware River (and Bay) are too big to fit into the county-based scheme of this website, so I gave it its own top-level page. These maps include the adjacent canals, which are good places in themselves to go, but often obstruct access to the river. Zoom in to separate the markers.

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.
