The lake has a long and rich history, discovered by the Lenape Indians 14,000 years ago, this was the chic destination for New York actors and socialites at the turn of the century and the roaring 20s.

There are numerous restaurants and bars in the vicinity and also all around the lake featuring lake views and the ability to "boat hop".
