Splitrock Reservoir, Rockaway Township, NJ







The pavement does end on Split Rock Road after which a dirt road continues



Splitrock Reservoir. According to another source the reservoir is in Rockaway Township and Kinnelon, but google maps does not show any portion of the reservoir in Kinnelon. The spot the pictures were taken from is in Rockaway Township. This post was updated 9/30/2018 because I erroneously placed the images in Boonton Township.
