Manasquan Reservoir - 3/26/11



We only had time for a short hike today, so we headed over to the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell. It's been quite some time since we'd been to this very pretty park, as it's more of a stroll around the reservoir rather than a hike.

8.1 miles. Trail surface is easy and level; this hike is moderate only due to length.…
