Starting along the Manasquan Reservoir Perimeter Loop Trail.

The start of the trail is flat and straight.

Some constructed bridges.

And some nice viewpoints just off the trail of the Manasquan Reservoir.

Another bridge along the trail.


A view of the swampy south side of the reservoir.

Passing over a land bridge next to the reservoir. The trail leads all the way around.

View back.


Approaching the Environmental Center.

Passing the Environmental Center, now paralleling the road.

Nice views, despite the noisy road.

Leftover trees still standing from when the reservoir was created.

Now heading east, a long, flat section of trail again.

View back, cute little swamp visible.

The trail is wide, but weaves around a bit and isn't straight the whole time.

Another nice view of the reservoir.


Passing a road leading to the dam, inaccessible to the public.

A view toward the dam through a fence.

Continuing through the forest.


A view toward a constructed portion of the dam.

A nice viewpoint before reaching the trailhead.

Cute little lily pads.

View back at a final view of the reservoir just before reaching the trailhead again.
