White Meadow Lake

A sudden plan took us to White Meadow Lake in Rockaway, NJ. We were in Randolph till late in the afternoon and I was looking for some place to see close-by, and found this lake on Google maps. It was just a 20 minutes drive from there. But with the most blinding curves and bents, the way to the lake was like driving up and down the hill, it was the most challenging part of our trip.

We arrived at the beautiful lakefront around 4 and the very first thing we did was to have lunch. And then it was time to get down to the sandy lakeside and enjoy the views. It was for sure one of the most splendid stretch of water along the lush greenery.

The lake is nestled among thick vegetation and is a great place to be, far from the maddening crowds. It was so calm and serene, only saw one or two kids playing around with their grandparents. We sat there for a while.

We left the spot around 5: 30 and drove back to Randolph through the twisted terrain. Its a refreshing stopover for any one who's passing by the area. For us too, it was such a relaxing sojourn.
