New Jersey has some gorgeous state parks but Round Valley Recreation Area has to be one of my favorites. Located in Clinton Township, the heart of the park is the reservoir but it’s more than just beautiful beaches…

The reservoir, formed in 1960, is a dark green, teal blue, and a variety of other hues. It mirrors the sky above! Given the right conditions, it can appear clear, with 20-foot visibility.

Visitors to the park can enjoy outdoor activities all year long from hiking to swimming to kayaking to camping!
