Spring Garden Lake
A primary goal for the Florham Park Environmental Commission is to restore Spring Garden Lake, enabling visitors to access the lake and enjoy its natural state for hiking, fishing and relaxing. The 7+ acre lake was once a town gem, but has severely deteriorated. The vision is to rehabilitate Spring Garden Lake to be self-sustaining and a native ecosystem that can be a community treasure, recognized and enjoyed for its recreational and aesthetic value. The Commission’s hope is that the lake restoration can be a community project, involving all residents and backed by the support of prominent donors.
