is the deepest lake in New Jersey. The Reservoir covers about 2,000
acres with its clear-blue waters, and has a capacity of 55 billion
gallons. The Round Valley Recreation Area is one of the few parks in the
state to offer wilderness camping. These campsites are on the east side
of the reservoir, which is accessible only by boat or by a hike of at
least 3 miles from the nearest parking lot. The 9-mile Cushetunk Trail is the longest of 3 marked trails in the park. Scuba and skin diving are also popular activities available to adventurers. Lake trout are the prized fish for anglers, although there are 18 other species in the reservoir. The
state record American Eel (6 lbs, 13 oz), Smallmouth Bass (7 lbs, 2
oz), Brown Trout (21 lbs, 6 oz) and Lake Trout (32 lbs, 8 oz) were
caught in the reservoir. Clinton Township.
