About the Lake
The Strawbridge Lake watershed comprises 12.6 square miles and encompasses portions of Moorestown, Mount Laurel, and Evesham Townships. Strawbridge Lake is surrounded by this waymarked park widely and is used by residents of Burlington and Camden Counties for activities like walking, biking, picnicking, fishing, and ice-skating. In addition to having a highly eroded shoreline, the lake receives numerous storm water discharges from the surrounding residential and commercial areas, as well as directly from State Route 38.
The lake itself has been listed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as a water quality-limited water body. Sedimentation, elevated phosphorus, heavy macrophyte growth, and chlordane in fish tissue were identified as the water quality impairments at Strawbridge Lake. SOURCE
The park has so many various entrances, I lost count. There are several geocaches, waymarks and other items of interest. At the listed coordinates is a really neat sculpture across the lake; look for it and snap a few pictures. Plenty of gravel lots make parking a snap. I discovered lots of picnic tables, garbage receptacles and plenty of nice scenery. My son had a blast. One word of caution, which confused me, certain portions of the winding road which establishes the park border is one way, while at other times it is two way. Be careful and observe all posted traffic signs.
Here is a list of all caches in the park:
