Merrill Creek is about 15 mins away from RV and its quite a bit more predictable as far as wind goes. Its a really nice place to paddle. Lots of little shallow coves right next to the launch, with shady trees to park under and have a rest if the time of day is right. I've never really had an "oh shit" moment there like at RV. They are privately owned and have some rules & regulations (no SUP, no kayak under 9 feet, etc) so check out their web page before you go.

Hey thx! Looks like a nice smallish place on Google maps. I assume most boats are small 15-25hp fishing boats and not much noise/speed to deal with while in a kayak? Doesn’t look like a place fishing bros go with twin 250’s, lol. Still newish right NJ and still finding which lakes/reservoirs I can paddle in when I don’t want to drive to the shore so this’ll be nice addition👍
