Review & FAQ:
Straddling the border between New York and New Jersey, Greenwood Lake covers more than 1,900 acres and features excellent views of the nearby Bearfoot Mountain Ridge. The lake is considered to be one of the best places in New Jersey to fish for bass, but it's also home to other species of fish including catfish, perch, and pickerel. The depth of the lake varies greatly, but it's suitable for both swimming and boating. Visitors who head over to the New York side of the lake will also be able to enjoy two public beaches with volleyball courts and lifeguards.
Greenwood Lake is 1 hr 30 min (50.4 miles via NJ-3 W) from NYC.
