Description:
From
the start point you will drive about a mile to the Manasquan Reservoir.
10 Km loop around the lake on a well used natural surface trail.
A popular walking route with local residents involving woodlands and
lake vistas.
The
Manasquan Reservoir is a source of water for municipalities and utilities.
The Reservoir is also a natural setting for recreational activities and
outdoor pursuits. The 770-acre Reservoir is part of a larger 1,204 acre
site that includes woods and wetlands, a 5-mile perimeter trail, fishing and
boating areas, and a Visitor Center.
The
5.1 mile gravel Perimeter Trail offers panoramic views of the Reservoir and
provides a great trail experience for all users. This trail loops all
the way around the reservoir and has a fairly even, well-maintained surface.
Mileposts are marked on the trail.
An additional 1.1 mile Cove Trail is a scenic nature trail which
explores the lakeshore around the Environmental Center and is open to
pedestrians only. |
