Lake-Owassa is a 275-acre freshwater lake located in Frankford Township in Sussex County, northern New Jersey. The lake, which was formerly called Long Pond, is fed from runoff from Kittatinny Mountain. In turn, Lake Owassa feeds into nearby Culver's Lake, and flows onward into the West Branch of the Paulins Kill. Lake Owassa sits at an elevation of 866 feet and is a completely private lake for use by members only. Members supervise the activities at the lake, as well as monitor the water quality. Activities at Lake Owassa include canoe trips, sailboat races, a lake-wide picnic every summer and a boat parade. Frankford Township has a population of 5,565 as of the 2010 census. The township of Frankford is home to the annual Sussex County Farm and Horse Show and New Jersey State Fair. Other attractions in the area include Skylands Park, a 4,300-seat ballpark that hosts the Sussex Skyhawks of the Can-Am League. Lake Owassa is part of Sussex County, which is part of New Jersey's Skyland Region. In the western half of the Skylands Region, you'll find several state and federal parks that have kept large tracts of land undeveloped and in their natural state. The eastern half of the county has had more suburban development because of its proximity to more populated areas of New Jersey and New York.
