Stirling Lake Recreation Notices
UPDATE: Stirling Lake will reopen for all activities including
swimming effective Sunday, 8/25/24, at 1pm. Stirling Lake Family Fun Day Activities are
scheduled for Saturday, August, 31st.
Notice 8/19/24: Due to the recent torrential rain and flooding we
received, Stirling Lake will be closed for swimming until further notice. This closure
is out of an abundance of caution to ensure everyone's safety during this time.
However, in an effort to remain open and provide alternative options, the lake beach
will still be accessible for sun bathing and other activities.
We are having the water tested, and the Health Dept. has been advised.
Our testing company, Garden State Labs) tested the water on 8/20.
Garden State Labs came to test the water on 8/23. We had hoped to
have results back by end of 8/23, but now we have been told they will come back in over
the weekend. Stirling Lake will remain closed for all swimming until we get a good
report back from the lab. Family Fun Day activities are being moved to Saturday, Aug.
31st.
As soon as we know more, we will post an additional notice here.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Read this poem/song written by the "Queen of Stirling Lake".
The tradition continues with the following song written and performed
by Lynn K.
"What a Wonderful Lake"
I see sand so soft, beach chairs galore,
Lifeguards watching over us, who could ask for more?
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
Kids playing together, all ages too,
Fishing for prizes and swimming, that's true
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
The colors of the bathing suits, so pretty in the light,
Floats and tubes of people having fun, what a delight!
I see friends reading and laughing, saying, "Let's go
swim."
What they really mean is--Stirling Lake reigns supreme!
I hear the ice cream truck bell, all out of the lake,
People in the sand, starting to bake
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
There are so many babies and kids in the sand,
The grownups who watch them, think they are so grand
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
There are kids on the Wibit and adults who try,
They want to finish without falling, that's a reason why
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
There are Georgette and Marge who make the lake fun,
Keeping lakers happy while being in the sun
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
I hear people talk, I watch them smile,
Lakers become family and make the summer worthwhile
And I think to myself...what a wonderful lake.
YES, I KNOW FOR A FACT, IT'S A WONDERFUL LAKE!
Oh Yeah!!!
