Furnace Lake
About Furnace Lake
Warren County in New Jersey is home to Furnace Lake, a modestly sized body of water covering just over 50 acres. Despite its relatively small surface area, the lake's shallow nature makes it accessible and inviting for a variety of outdoor activities. The lake lies near the towns of Brass Castle, Brookfield, and Washington, offering a quiet retreat for local nature lovers. The surrounding area includes notable state parks like Jenny Jump State Forest and Voorhees State Park, which add to the natural backdrop of Furnace Lake. Its zero-foot maximum depth indicates a very shallow basin, contributing to a unique ecosystem and a different kind of fishing experience compared to deeper lakes in the region.
