Oxford Furnace Lake is a quiet retreat nestled in the valley near the historic Oxford Furnace area. Surrounded by wooded hills, the lake offers seasonal swimming with a sandy beach, scenic picnic areas, and plenty of room to relax or stretch your legs along the shore. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and boating (electric motors only) are popular ways to enjoy the water, and a town-managed boat ramp and dock make access easy when the season is open. With wildlife along the edges and a peaceful setting that feels a world away from the everyday, Oxford Furnace Lake is a great place to dip your toes in the NJ Highlands.
