More information from 5 Lake You never heard of and should be fishing.

Here is some more information from a 50-minute seminar on Five Lake You Never Heard of... and Should be Fishing.

Carnegie Lake - Middlesex County, New Jersey: Lake Carnegie is a reservoir that is formed from a dam on the Millstone River, in the far northeastern corner of Princeton Township, New Jersey. The Delaware and Raritan Canal and its associated towpath are situated along the eastern shore of the lake. Noted businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donated money for the construction of the lake, which was donated to Princeton University. In 1990, the Lake Carnegie Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The lake, which is privately owned, is used by the university's rowing team. It is, however, available for public use for activities such as ice skating, fishing, and picnicking. Fish species include Largemouth Bass, Carp, Pickerel, Crappie, Channel Catfish and occasionally a few Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout that make their way into Carnegie Lake from Stony Brook

Merrill Creek Reservoir - Warren County, New Jersey : Located in Warren County, New Jersey, Merrill Creek Reservoir is a 650 acre (2.6 km²) artificial lake that is surrounded by 290 acres (1.2 km²) of protected woodland and fields. These lands are themselves part of 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) of open spaces. Merrill Creek is connected to the Delaware River, about three miles away, by an underground tunnel. River water is pumped into the reservoir when the river is high and from the reservoir into the river when the river is low. This ensures a steady supply of cooling water for several power plants along the river. Construction cost $217 million and was one of the largest construction projects in the United States in 1986-87. The entire site was cleared of dense forest by huge tree-eating machines, and construction crews worked two 12-hour shifts to build a large earth dam and two dikes.


Launching facilities are provided for recreational boating, but no gasoline motors are allowed. The reservoir and surrounding parkland offer visitors an opportunity to engage in outdoor activity. Some of the abundant wildlife around the lake includes bald eagles, crows, white-tailed deer, turkey, and other various migratory birds. The reservoir is best known for its brown trout fishing. Other fish in the reservoir include walleye, yellow perch, small and largemouth bass, pickerel, crappie, catfish, sunfish, carp, rainbow trout, brook trout and lake trout.


Merrill Creek Reservoir was built atop Scotts Mountain in Warren County's Harmony Township. The reservoir is privately owned by a conglomerate of 7 power companies that border the Delaware River. The water is as deep as 200 feet and encompasses about 650 acres. Boating and fishing is open to the public...FREE NO FEE. There is a boat launch that you check in at with ample parking. You can only use the reservoir during daylight hours and only battery or paddle powered boats allowed. Surrounding Merrill Creek is over 2000 acres of forest and fields. There are beautiful stands of ghostly trees lining some of the coves and mergansers, king fishers, pilated woodpeckers, and bald eagles alike can be found surveying the clear cold waters for fish. I've viewed black beer, white-tailed deer, fox, muskrat, horned owls, bald eagle, hawks, bluebirds, and herons to name just a few. The fishery consists of full size lake trout, brown and rainbow trout and also large and small mouth bass. There is also a wonderful nature center overlooking the lake that provides wildlife education to the public and also has rest room facilities. The center is open year round but closed on some holidays. The center also showcases the history of the area and the building of this engineering feat.

Lake Aeroflex (or New Wawayanda) - Passaic County, New Jersey : Lake Aeroflex Dam is on a tributary of Pequest River in Sussex County, New Jersey and is used for recreation purposes. It has a normal surface area of 125 acres. It is owned by Division Of Parks And Forestry.

Lake Wawayanda and Wawayanda Creek are stocked with a wide of variety of fish: Brown trout, Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch, Large Mouth Bass, Pickeral, Catfish, Sun Fish, Crappie Fish, Bow Fin Fish, and LandLocked Salmon.

The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife introduced landlocked salmon to Lake Wawayanda to provide anglers with an opportunity to fish for this unique coldwater sport fish close to home. Only a handful of deep lakes in New Jersey have suitable year round habitat for coldwater fish like trout and salmon. Lake Aeroflex inKittatinny Valley State Park also received the landlocked salmon.


The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks Lake Wawayanda and Wawayanda Creek annually with brown and rainbow trout. The lake is designated a “holdover trout lake.” A boat rental facility and launching ramp are located near the beach and picnic areas. Canoes, rowboats (with or without electric motors) and paddleboats may be rented at Wawayanda Lake. Privately owned water craft may be launched. Although sailboats and sailboards are permitted on the lake, there are no rentals available in the park. Gasoline motors are not permitted.

NJ Boating Rules & Regulations pertain Wawayanda Lake at all times. Each person must have on a wearable Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. 885 Warwick Turnpike

Giving Pond - Giving Pond is a reclaimed sand/gravel pit located on the West side of Route 32 somewhere in the Upper Black Eddy area and it does have a thriving panfish population (along with an upstart gamefish population). The Giving Pond is a 90-acre body of water between the Delaware River and the Delaware Canal located in Tinicum Township, Bucks County. It is an ideal spot for kayaking, fishing, and bird watching. It was a former sand and gravel quarry which was acquired in 2002 to become part of the Delaware Canal State Park which is part of the D&L Trail. Fields and woods surround the pond.


Unpowered boats and electric motors only are allowed on the pond. It is an interesting paddle through a maze of sunken trees and around small islands. Watch the tree swallows fly in and out of their nests in the hole riddled trees. Also look for geese, herons, ducks, ospreys and yellow warblers. Fishing offers panfish, largemouth bass and catfish. Archery hunting is allowed in season.
There is a trail which takes you around most of the pond. Also, a paved section of the Delaware Canal Towpath trail runs in back of the pond.
The Giving Pond is located south of Easton on River Road (PA 32). A parking lot is located on the right side of River Road, between Uhlerstown Hill Road and Jugtown Hill Road, 2.5 miles south of the Upper Black Eddy/Milford River Bridge.
