Budd Lake

Budd Lake spans across 16.6 square kilometers within Mount Olive Township, including both residential areas and a natural water body at 283 meters elevation.

The area received its name from John Budd, who acquired the land in 1714, when the water body was still known as Hattacawanna Lake.

The community maintains multiple parks and recreational spaces near the lake where residents gather for seasonal outdoor activities and local celebrations.

The area connects to major highways and provides NJ Transit bus services, while offering essential amenities including retail shops and dining establishments.

The glacial lake serves as a source for the South Branch Raritan River, sustained by groundwater seepage through surrounding wetlands.
