Lake Lenape

Lake Lenape, in Mays Landing, NJ, is a man made lake. Originally constructed in 1847 on what was an Apple Orchard, it has been focal point of the County Seat ever since. With a park that encompasses almost 2 thousand Acres or ground, it has a lot to see and do.

This small area is actually downriver from the dam, part of the original Rail Road line between Camden and Atlantic City, it was built in 1857. Looking a bit worse for wear, it's perfect for fishing, strolling, or taking pictures. I happen to love the looks of man made decay as Nature slowly gnaws away at what Man makes.

Being the first warm day of spring, I found these turtles out sunning themselves near the remains of the wooden boat ramp
