I thought our parks were nice in Somerset County but we may have some competition. Whew - this spot was beyond gorgeous! And we discovered it by accident. Wesley was amped up after his vaccines so I decided to look for a park where we could eat our lunch and enjoy the spring weather. I legit just looked up parks on Apple Maps and chose the closest place. Oh my god - there was a lake - accessible by walking or by car. So many lovely places to park right by the water. An ABUNDANCE of benches. So many beautiful cherry blossom canopies. And dog friendly to boot! We saw elderly couples, teenage friends, young lovers, new moms, athletes, dog dads, people fishing. There's also swimming and aquatics there once the summer rolls around. It was just so perfect. For history buffs, there was also a war memorial to departed soldiers from the area since The Revolutionary War(!!). What a sweet little afternoon break! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this beautiful lake hidden right in the town of Roxbury, NJ. There is a private lake club for swimming in the summer for a fee. They even have small boats for rental and a concession stand to purchase food when open. Towards the entrance there are several basketball courts when you enter the park. There is plenty of parking . In the front as you drive in is the Roxbury Preforming Art center. They host all kinds of performances. They have a wide variety of shows. While driving around the back end of the park, I noticed there is a bike, walking and jogging path. There is also room for cars to maneuver. The park has a very large parking lot right across from the bike path and if your lucky you can park in a shaded spot where all the large trees surround the perimeter. There is another beautiful dirt walking path completely surrounded by large trees and the park itself is surrounded by large trees and park benches all around for sitting and looking out over the lake. You could have a nice picnic lunch for two. If you would like to have a picnic , or birthday party you can use the large covered over hang which is right next to the lake. I'm not sure if there is a rental fee. ( so call to book your party.) On the far end is a beautiful white gazebo. It's a great shaded spot to take graduation pictures like we did, or wedding pictures. On the lake was a beautiful swan swimming and some Canadian Geese with their goslings. Children can run around and play. You can also do some fishing. The water here is crystal clear and there is a nice breeze off the lake on a hot summer day. If your in the area check this place out . You won't be disappointed.... read more

This was my first time coming here because my son had a track meet. It was a very nice park. They had a really nice set up for the track meet venue and they also have a playground area that was really cute. They also have a lot of spots not too far away to grab some food. I was never in this area before but really liked it and plan to venture out this way again. read more

Horseshoe lake is beautiful! Just recently attended a charity event in the park, under the pavilion. It was just beautiful to be able to look out on the lake during dusk! The park offers many things! There is a awesome playground for the children and has handicap swings!! There are many soccer fields and a baseball field, where you can catch the local children's teams practice and play! There are also basketball courts and volleyball. So come prepared! In the back of the park, what I call "the middle of the horseshoe" is where the events are held! You can catch a food truck festival or a animal rescue event (keep your eyes opened for signs in the area). There are park benches surrounding the lake where you can sit and just relax while watching the lake. Go experience it! Just a beautiful park! Ohh! There are also a path to walk, bike, or run on that goes around the entire park! read more

Love Horseshoe Lake! I come here for a bike ride or a run. They have a playground for the kids and great bike paths (one even goes to chester)! You can fish at the pond if you register with them, and in the middle of the lake there is picnic tables where you can eat. During the spring there is a carnival with rides and funnel cake. read more
