Brick Township Reservoir, body of water
Brick Township Reservoir is a large water storage facility in New Jersey surrounded by maintained walking paths and two viewing stations positioned along its edges. The site features four gazebos, numerous benches, two paved fishing stations, and theme gardens with native plants distributed throughout the area.
The site was originally a sand and gravel pit transformed over more than ten years into the township's largest water storage facility. This conversion aimed to ensure reliable water supply to the local community during dry periods and emergencies.
The reservoir serves as a gathering place where residents and visitors spend time with family and friends to escape busy surroundings. The maintained paths and viewing stations create spaces for quiet moments and offer a way for people to connect with nature near their community.
The site is generally open to the public but closes annually from August through May for maintenance, so check current hours before visiting. Two parking lots at Herbertsville Road and Metedeconk Road provide easy access, and well-marked paths make it simple to navigate the grounds.
The grounds are lit at night, allowing for evening visits to what is typically a water storage facility not designed for public use after dark. This nighttime accessibility makes it an unusual destination for people seeking to walk or relax at different times of day.
