Anyway, a head clearing hike / walk was necessary the other day and my sister recommended the park as a place that could accommodate that. I have to say, it's a great place. The park is fairy extensive and, you quickly get the feel that you are in a very rural area even though you are in a densely populated college town. It was a gorgeous morning Wednesday when I walked the Pomeroy trail which is about three and a half miles round trip from where I parked my car. There were a few runners out, along with some dog walkers and the occasional deer. Overall it was peaceful and quiet. If you happen to be in the area and need a respite, definitely check this place out!

Why? To me, the lake is big enough to give you some interesting things to see and explore, but not too big that you can't see it all in a few hours. There are two docks you can launch from - one on either side of Brubaker Valley Road. It was mid-morning on a weekday and there were seven or eight other kayaks out there (mostly people fishing) and a few small boats that were also fishing. Plenty of wildlife with a Bald Eagle, a deer, a few Blue Heron and fish constantly jumping out of the water. At the far west end of the lake, where it gets shallow and you come to where it gets fed by the Hammer Creek, you expect to see a lot of ducks, turtles, frogs and since you're at the side of the Speedwell Forge Wolf Sanctuary - you can hear some barking & howling and even catch a few glimpses through the trees of a few of the residents running around. Fwiw, I can imagine that on weekends, this place getting very crowded and while it does have some size to it, compared to some other county/state parks, it's not that big. But for a weekday, it was more than fine. Beautiful. Peaceful. What more could you want?

The park itself is large and very open with plenty of space. There is many hiking trails, lake side trails and wooded trails. Perfect for walking, running, hiking or biking! Kayak and boat rentals are also available for the decent sized lake (which also has the notorious long bridge crossing the lake too)!! There are areas for picnics and fishing too. Plenty of parking for the park is available too! Green Lane Park is an awesome park, one of the best in the area. Its beautiful, scenic, and worth a visit!!

Admission: free! no entrance fee to the park Rentals of paddle boards and kayaks: These have various costs depending on how long you want to rent. I chose 4 hours for $80 paddle board. I was able to pay with a credit card and there was no add'l fee (i.e. no transaction fee). They also held my driver's license to ensure I'd bring the board back. The guy who gave me the board was super nice and explained everything very well. He was much appreciated! My friend and I spent the afternoon at Marsh Creek state park. She brought her own board and I rented. We each had water proof bags and took our lunch way out on the lake and ate on our boards out in the middle of the water. There were places to stop on the edge of the water but we chose to eat on our boards. We had a lovely time enjoying the scenery and chatting with eat other. When I got hot, i took a quick dip in the water to cool down. We had no issues with 'the authorities' as many other people mentioned but my friend (who has been to this park many times) did mention they are strict about parking and following the rules. I would definitely recommend!

You drive through a bunch of marshland to get to Fortescue, which is both a small town and a public beach. Several restaurants are in town, in addition to other local businesses. They even have a post office! There is ample paved parking (FREE) along the breakwater wall between the sand of the beach and the road. The strip of beach is a decent length, not like those at the large traditional Jersey Shore beaches, but walkable, clean, and free of nature debris, so you can set your gear up there for a day at the beach. Beach fishing happens there all year; anywhere along the bay is super popular with fishermen. No rough surf like is present on the Atlantic side of the NJ peninsula, and unlike the Atlantic side, you can see the sunset over the water here. There are multiple preserves and hiking trails around this town, and bustling Millville is just over 20min away. At the time of this review, it appears there is at least one commercial lodging option to stay in town (in addition to private rentals). Roads are paved and flat, so this is a fun place to ride bikes as well. I have not visited in summer, but with the vast acreage of nearby marsh, I would expect the bugs to be fierce in warm months. Summer crowds may be a factor too. The best time to visit, IMO, is the off-season!
