Six Mile Run Reservoir Site

The Six Mile Run Reservoir Site, part of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park is in Franklin Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, and is adjacent to the Delaware and Raritan Canal. It covers 3,037 acres. The Six Mile Run is a tributary with a length of six miles that runs into the Raritan River.

The land for the reservoir was first acquired by the state of New Jersey in 1970, through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resources as a future reservoir and recreation area. The reservoir was never built and in 1993 the area was transferred to the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry when alternative water supply sources were found.
