Prospertown Lake

Prospertown Lake is a man-made lake and wildlife management area, located on County Route 537 in the Prospertown section of Jackson Township, New Jersey, adjacent to Six Flags Great Adventure.

In September 2011, a falling water level caused by the lake's drainage system failed and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection promptly relocated thousands of fish to another body of water nearby.[1] The lake was originally 14 feet deep.[2]
