Budd Lake, NJ

Budd Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Mount Olive Township, in western Morris County. The community takes its name from the lake itself, one of the clearest local landmarks, while nearby waterways connect it to the Raritan River system. Budd Lake sits in a part of New Jersey that feels more wooded and spread out than the state's inner suburbs, with lake access, local schools, commuter routes, and everyday shopping all shaping its residential identity.
