that was a old swimming beach park a longggg time ago, my dad use to swim there in the 70's.

I use to fish Sun Tan Lake back in the 50's and 60's. I was a little boy so all I caught was sunnies. But I remember the lake being crystal clear. My family rented picnic tables for a season fee for 20 + years there. I learned how to swim there. Till this day I can still see my grandfathers tattooed outreach arms encouraging my brother and I to jump off the concrete wall into the lake. Like yesterday.
I believe the lake was where the home depot on Rte. 23 is now. I barely remember an Island Lake nearby on Rte. 23.

I fished there about 2 years ago several times (during spring time) and got kicked out at least twice by Police.... I did however nail a nice 7 lb+ largemouth on a senko...

Its 5 minutes from my house. I pass it frequently but never thought of fishing there. I remember when it was an active beach. In the 70's we'd be on the way to our lake house in Sussex Cty and my dad would always tell us how lucky we were to have our lake house and not have to swim in that ''polio pond'' as he called it and the other pay to swim lakes that lined RT 23.
