Recreation and Fishing

United Water's Watershed Recreation Program opens the door to a world of outdoor enjoyment. The program, which runs from April 1 through November 30, allows our customers to enjoy the wooded lands surrounding our reservoirs for fishing or bird watching. For a nominal application fee, your watershed recreation permit will give you access to four reservoirs - Oradell and Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey and Lake DeForest and Lake Tappan, both in Rockland County, New York. Wheelchair accessible areas are located at our Woodcliff Lake and Lake Tappan reservoirs. In addition the public can enjoy United Water 's nature trail. Five-miles of trails wind through 90 acres of land adjacent to the Oradell Reservoir featuring many natural points of interest along the way.
