Comments: Privately owned, Carnegie Lake is open to public assess for fishing, boating and enjoying the picturesque views. Private gasoline-powered boats are prohibited on the lake, as is swimming. Only the old D & R Towpath separates the lake from the D & R Canal. The lake is only 800 feet across at its widest point, so fishing from the bank is attractive to many who combine their fishing expedition with a hike along the towpath to reach a favored spot. Most of the eastern shore nearly lies within the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park that meanders along 70 miles of the main canal and the feeder canal. The 68-mile towpath trail welcomes walkers, horseback riders, mountain bikers and the wheelchair-bound to enjoy the shaded pathway along the inviting watercourse. Mountain bikes may be rented in the area, and some of the parking lots have room for horse trailers. Camping is available only at Bull's Island on the feeder canal next to the Delaware River close to Washington Crossing State Park.
Need for morning quiet?: No
