Spruce Run Recreation Area, State recreation area in Hunterdon County, United States
The 1,290-acre recreation area encompasses a reservoir with 15 miles of shoreline, offering water activities and outdoor recreation spaces in New Jersey.
The construction of Spruce Run Reservoir in 1964 marked one of New Jersey's first state-operated water supply facilities, built under the 1958 Water Supply Law.
Twenty-nine fish species inhabit the reservoir waters, including largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish, supporting a strong recreational fishing community.
The park maintains 67 campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, plus modern restrooms with showers from April through October.
The reservoir functions as a backup water source during droughts by feeding water into the south branch of the Raritan River when needed.
