Very nice from the Lenape Trail.

Look for the Lenape Trail.

Carnegie Lake, stretching across parts of central New Jersey, owes its existence to an unusual encounter: a conversation between a painter and Andrew Carnegie. Built in the early 1900s for Princeton’s rowing team, the lake quickly became more than just a training site. Locals fish here, paddle, or stroll along the quiet banks. Pollution has taken its toll, but efforts to clean the water are ongoing.

Built in 1907 at the meeting point of Stony Brook and Millstone River, the Lake Carnegie dam created the lake enjoyed by rowers and the community. After a century of upkeep, repairs were needed again in 2015. This is a great place to watch races.

Helmetta Pond is a beautiful body of water that is part of the Jamesburg Park Conservation Area. It is a 38-acre pond that is popular with fisherman and boaters. It used to power the nearby mill, but as the mill is now defunct, it is only used for recreational activities.

Helyar Woods is a 60-acre nature preserve on the banks of Westons Mill Pond. There are several miles of trails that wind through the park.

The mixed-surface trail encircling Plainsboro Pond grants scenic views and direct access to its tranquil waters. Expect to encounter fellow visitors enjoying non-motorized boating and fishing activities. The serene atmosphere also attracts various bird species, including geese, adding to the natural charm of the surroundings.

Great for sight seeing and watching the boat races when they happen.
