Merrill Creek Reservoir is a striking landscape defined by water, open space, and quiet scale. The 650-acre lake was designed to hold up to 15 billion gallons of water to replenish the Delaware River in times of low flow. The Reservoir is encircled by 290 acres of protected woodlands and fields. Walking trails, boat and kayak launches, and dedicated parking are available on-site. This preserved land creates room to explore, observe wildlife, and take in the stunning, natural beauty of the NJ Highlands.
