Greetings from White Lake!
It has been quite the winter (and quite a year!), but, now that Spring is here and the snow has melted, things are becoming a little more lively around the park.
(A Piebald White-Tail Deer spotted on the Green Trail in mid-February. Piebald is a genetic abnormality, causing a lack of pigmentation in the deer’s coat.)
The shrills of the Red-Winged Black Bird can be heard almost every morning, swallows can be seen flying above the fields, and the redbuds are making themselves apparent in the once bare Red Maples… yes, indeed Spring is here.
Recently three of our fields have been mowed for a late-winter cut, which helps alleviate the growth of invasive plants; mugwort, multi-flora rose, and ailanthus (just to name a few). In addition, we have continuously cleared all trails, allowing safe access throughout, and have just had NJ Fish and Wildlife stock our 60-acre lake with Trout!
(A view of White Lake from the Blue Trail, this was one of the fields that was mowed.)
(A notice from NJ Fish and Wildlife informing Anglers of a recent date change for the 2021 Fishing Season.)
With the warm weather just around the corner, White Lake will be the place to go for a number of outdoor activities such as; hiking, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and birding
We look forward to an awesome season and will keep you all posted with what’s happening around the lake! Remember to social distance, be safe, and see you soon!
