The Darker Side of Round Valley Reservoir

As most of you might know, I love Round Valley Reservoir located in Hunterdon County NJ.  Since I posted my last blog post about the park, I have researched the construction of the reservoir. I found a great movie called The Town that Disappeared Overnight.  The movie looks at the rescue from the perspective of the townspeople who lived in the valley.

Along with learning about the construction history of Round Valley, I also discovered the reservoir has the name nickname of the New Jersey Bermuda Triangle.  This is due to the number of swimmers and boaters who have gone missing over the years and the many accounts of boaters and swimmers seeing things in the water.  If you would like to learn more about the swimmers who have gone missing, here is a great article called New Jersey Has Its Own Bermuda Triangle... And Its’ Eerie Beautiful. 

Both of these links are extremely interesting.  The movie has made me look at the lake from a different perspective, but I am not going to stop enjoying the resources the park has to offer.
