Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve is a quiet, wooded area with dirt trails winding past lakes and streams. It’s great for a run, walk, or even a bike ride. You’ll have a chance to spot birdlife along the way, with plenty of spots to pause and take in the peaceful surroundings. Also a good place to bring your dog.

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.

The Sourland Mountain County Preserve is a beautiful woodland nature preserve run by the Somerset County Park Commission. There are several miles of well-maintained hiking trails that weave through the park.

The James Sayen Trail takes you right up next to the lake on the property. The trail is smooth and easy to navigate, but it can sometimes become muddy during the wetter times of year. The trail on the east side of the lake offers some shade while the trail on the west side is more open and sunny.

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