White Meadow Lake, NJ

White Meadow Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Rockaway Township, in north-central Morris County. The lake itself gives the community its center of gravity, with residential streets, recreation, and local identity organized around the water. Geographically, the area sits within the Rockaway River watershed, which flows east toward the Passaic River. White Meadow Lake feels like a lake-community suburb: not remote, but more defined by private recreation, wooded roads, and neighborhood association life than by a traditional downtown.
