Anyone fish Butler Pond or Taylor lake in Essex?

For some reason, I happened upon some information that made me see if Butler Pond was private property so I asked Livingston Police and this was their response to me:


Thomas,

Butler Pond is located on private property owned by the City of East Orange and is part of the East Orange Water Reserve. As far as I know the city does not allow anyone to access this property and I can advise you that they have pressed trespassing charges in the past for individuals who have been observed on their property.
