Review & FAQ:
As the main attraction in Swartswood State Park, the first state park in New Jersey, Swartswood Lake is an ideal venue for a wide range of outdoor leisure activities. Fishing is popular all throughout the year, and boating and swimming can be enjoyed during the summer months. The park is open every day between dawn and dusk, and visitors are kindly asked to pack out all their garbage. Excellent views of the lake can be had by hiking the Grist Mill Trail, a moderately difficult 1.5-mile loop that begins on the southern end of the lake.
