Lake Topanemus Park
Whichever way it’s pronounced, it should mean “a nice quiet place to get away to” just for relaxation, watching the birds and fishers. However, if you want to and the serenity, ask a local if it is in the Borough or Township. Open daily, for free if you help keep it clean and follow a few modest rules.
As described by the described by the Lake Topanemus Park Commission
