Merrill Creek Reservoir added to salmon stocking program
– The Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife is expanding its popular landlocked salmon stocking program to a fourth northern New Jersey lake – the Merrill Creek Reservoir, located in Warren County.
“We are extremely pleased to continue expanding this program as it grows in popularity. This stocking program creates a new and exciting way for people to enjoy the outdoors. Catching one of these beautiful and hard-fighting fish is surely the thrill of a lifetime,” Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said.
This fall, the Division of Fish and Wildlife has stocked more than 2,500 salmon in the four lakes. The others are Lake Waywayanda and Lake Aeroflex in Sussex County and Tilcon Lake in Morris County.

Tilcon lake can be accessed by parking at the entrance on Kinney Road (named Kennedy Rd. in Google Maps, and which intersects Rt. 604 south of I-80). From the entrance it is a short walk (300 yards over level ground) to the lake.
