Reader's Digest found the prettiest lake in each state, and here in New Jersey, there's a lake in Worthington State Forest that's considered the very best.

Take the drive to Warren County, where you'll find a stunning 44-acre glacial lake surrounded by a 258-acre hardwood forest.

It's located on the Kittatinny Ridge within Worthington State Forest, near the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, according to Wikipedia.

Sunfish Pond Named Best Lake in New Jersey by Reader's Digest

Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about Sunfish Pond:

This teeny glacial lake might be best known for its proximity to the famed Appalachian Trail, one of the best hikes in America, but that’s not all it has to offer. Situated within Worthington State Forest, the lake sits 1,000 feet above the surrounding area. It can best be enjoyed via a 10-mile hiking loop, but it’s also a natural swimming hole. At just 44 acres, Sunfish Pond packs a picturesque punch despite its small size, with pristine waters, rocky shores, and dense forest surroundings. After a trip here, you may want to go back again…and again.
