Raccoon Island (New Jersey)

Raccoon Island is an island on Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey, comprising about 50 acres (20 ha) with mixed private homes and lots. It is part of Jefferson Township, in Morris County, New Jersey. Seasonal (April–October), limited scheduled ferry service provides access to the island by car or light truck. With this limited accessibility, few people live year-round on the island, but during the summer months many families from the surrounding area temporarily "relocate" and commute to their work from there. The homes range from small cottages that were built from the 1880s onwards to more contemporary and remodeled homes with sizable lots. There is no public land on the island. In the late 19th century, paddle-wheel boats used to provide transportation links from mainland railway stations to resort hotels and campsites on the island. It was a summer tourist destination for New York City residents (45 miles (72 km) east) before expanded auto and boat transportation made more exotic travel feasible. Bridge and Ferry History In the past, Lake Hopatcong was two separate lakes known as Big Pond and Little Pond. After development began in the 1880s, a bridge was built serving the island to the mainland. The Chincopee Bridge was opened in 1891 but collapsed in 1899. A new bridge was planned and approved in 1928, but the great depression halted that project. In 1932, a ferry service was started to serve the island from Chincopee Road, continuing through today.

Ramapo Valley County Reservation

The Ramapo Valley County Reservation, also known as the Ramapo Reservation, is a 4,000 acres (16 km2) county park located in Mahwah, New Jersey in Bergen County, bordering Ringwood State Park to the north and the Ramapo Mountain State Forest to the south. The park lies on the border of the Piedmont and Highlands geologic provinces. The park offers hiking along a mountain brook with a waterfall, fishing in the Ramapo River, Scarlet Oak Pond, MacMillan Reservoir, and tent camping. Trails connect to the network of trails in the adjoining state forest and state park. The park also affords carry-in access to the Ramapo River for canoe, kayak and raft owners. The Reservation is popular among students from nearby Ramapo College, less than a mile away on Route 202, and acts as the school's Environmental Science laboratory. The park is also a noted geocaching hotspot in conjunction with the aforementioned adjoining parks. The former Bergen County Police substation near the parking lot serves as the headquarters for New Jersey Search and Rescue. October 2015 closure The Ramapo Mountain Reservation was closed indefinitely to visitors on October 15, 2015, while authorities investigated increased bear activity. The ban has since been lifted.

Raritan Bay Drawbridge

The Raritan Bay Drawbridge, also known as River-Draw, Raritan Bay Swing Bridge, and Raritan River Railroad Bridge, is a railroad swing bridge crossing the Raritan River 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from where it empties into the Raritan Bay in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States. It crosses the city line of Perth Amboy to the north and South Amboy to the south. History The bridge was built in 1908 to replace one that had been built at the crossing in 1875 to serve the New York and Long Branch Railroad, jointly operated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) and Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). Near the end of its construction, the bridge was sabotaged by a dynamite blast. A few years after completion, the bridge was damaged in a severe winter storm. The bridge has been owned by several different parties since the CNJ/PRR era: Penn Central (1968–1971), the New Jersey Department of Transportation (to 1983), and New Jersey Transit (NJT). Operations The bridge is used by NJT commuter rail on its North Jersey Coast Line and for Conrail-Norfolk Southern rail freight operations. Federal regulations require the bridge to be open on signal except during rush hour or when a train has passed the home signal for it. Replacement The bridge was scheduled to be replaced after suffering structural damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The bridge was overwashed by the storm surge, struck by two tugboats, and had to be realigned before low-speed service could resume a month later. A $446 million federal grant, announced in 2014, will fund construction of a new bridge while trains continue using the existing bridge. A groundbreaking ceremony for the approaches to the new was held September 15, 2020, with completion projected for 2026. An additional groundbreaking ceremony was held on June 24, 2025 for the center lift span of the new bridge.

Renault Winery

Renault Winery ( rih-KNOW) is a winery located in Egg Harbor City and Galloway Township in Atlantic County, New Jersey. It is the oldest active winery in the state in New Jersey. Renault is one of the larger winegrowers in New Jersey, having 48 acres of grapes under cultivation, and producing 20,000 cases of wine per year. The winery is named after its founder. History The vineyard was first planted in 1864 by Louis Nicolas Renault, a French immigrant from Mareuil-sur-Ay who brought the original vinifera grapes from France. Renault opened to the public in 1870, and for many years was the largest producer of champagne in the United States. Renault survived the Prohibition era by obtaining licenses to produce sacramental wine as well as various medicinal wines, including "Renault Wine Tonic" which was sold by pharmacists across the United States. Mildred Norman, decades before her treks across the continent as Peace Pilgrim, worked in the winery as a secretary. After World War II, Atlantic City political boss and racketeer Enoch "Nucky" Johnson was employed by Renault. While the winery once cultivated 600 acres of grapes, and sold 500,000 cases of wine per year, production has decreased substantially in recent decades. The winery has instead developed into a resort, opening a restaurant in 1983, a hotel and second restaurant in 2000, and a golf course in 2004. Financial struggles The winery filed for bankruptcy in 2014, and was purchased by OceanFirst Bank, its primary creditor, in 2015. In late 2018 the bank announced the sale of the property to the newly formed Renault Properties LLC. In 2019 Galloway Township agreed to help Renault Winery with its planned rehabilitation via a tax abatement plan. Wines Renault Winery is located in the Outer Coastal Plain AVA, and produces wine from Baco noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cayuga White, Chardonnay, Merlot, Noah, Norton (Cynthiana), Petit Verdot, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Riesling, Sangiovese, Sauvignon blanc, Vidal blanc. Renault also makes fruit wines from blueberries, and is the only winery in the United States to make a blueberry champagne. Features, licensing, and associations The winery is located on a 1400-acre site which includes an 18-hole golf course, a 55-room hotel, and two restaurants. Renault has a plenary winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which allows it to produce an unrestricted amount of wine, operate up to 15 off-premises sales rooms, and ship up to 12 cases per year to consumers in-state or out-of-state. Renault is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and the Outer Coastal Plain Vineyard Association.

Revel Resort and Casino

Le Revel Resort and Casino est un gratte-ciel de 219 mètres construit en 2012 à Atlantic City aux États-Unis. Conception et construction La tour hôtelière de l'Ocean Casino Resort est la plus haute structure d'Atlantic City et la quatrième plus haute de l'État du New Jersey avec une hauteur de 219 mètres; c'est également la deuxième plus haute tour de casino aux États-Unis. Arquitectonica était l'architecte concepteur du projet. BLT Architects était l'architecte exécutif pour l'ensemble du projet et architecte officiel pour 75 % de l'installation. Tishman Realty & Construction, qui a été le gestionnaire de la construction de The Borgata, a joué le même rôle pour Revel. Scéno Plus, une entreprise de design basée à Montréal, a contribué à la conceptualisation et à la mise en œuvre du casino de Revel, d'une superficie de 12 000 mètres carrés. À l'été 2008, le projet a été officiellement réduit à une seule tour d'hôtel de 1 900 chambres en raison d'un manque de financement[réf. nécessaire]. En mars 2009, la construction a été interrompue en raison de difficultés à réunir les fonds nécessaires à l'achèvement du projet. Revel a repris la construction en février 2011 après l'obtention d'un nouveau financement, et a ouvert avec 1399 chambres.

Round Valley Reservoir

The Round Valley Reservoir in Clinton Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States, was formed in 1960 when the New Jersey Water Authority constructed two large dams and flooded a large valley. The reservoir is named after the naturally formed circular valley surrounded by Cushetunk Mountain. The deep valley was caused by erosion of the soft sedimentary rock. The surrounding ridges of Cushetunk Mountain endure because they were underlaid with dense and durable volcanic rock diabase that cooled slowly under the surface of the Earth. The reservoir covers what used to be a farming community, with remains of a school and a church on the lake floor among other buildings. Reaching depths of 180 feet (55 m), this 2,350-acre (9.5 km2) reservoir is best known for its pristine clear blue waters. The reservoir contains 55 billion US gallons (210,000,000 m3) of water for use in central New Jersey, making it the largest in the state. Its water is distributed during times of drought via the nearby south branch of the Raritan River. The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife claims the reservoir is the southernmost body of water in the United States that contains naturally reproducing lake trout. This is one of only two lakes in New Jersey with lake trout, the other being Merrill Creek Reservoir in Warren County. Some of the other species of fish in the lake include bass, pickerel, catfish, american eel, yellow perch, brown trout, and rainbow trout. The park also has a wilderness area for camping, swimming and SCUBA diving facilities, a boat ramp and nature hiking and biking trails. The reservoir has been called the Bermuda Triangle of New Jersey, and also known as one of the worlds most cursed lakes with over 26 people have drowned there since 1971. Six of them have never been found. In December 2024, several unidentified lights were seen over the reservoir as part of the larger New Jersey drone sightings phenomena.

Réservoir de Round Valley

Le réservoir de Round Valley (en anglais : Round Valley Reservoir) est un lac de barrage américain situé dans le township de Clinton au sein du comté de Hunterdon au New Jersey. Géographie Le réservoir de Round Valley est construit dans le township de Clinton par la création de trois grands terre-pleins. Le lac se trouve dans une vallée de roches sédimentaires. Il doit son nom à la montagne Cushetunk (en), de roches volcaniques et de forme circulaire (en anglais : round), qui l'entoure. Le réservoir est d'une superficie de 2 350 acres (951 ha) et d'une profondeur maximale de 180 pieds (55 m). Sa capacité maximale est d'environ 208 000 000 m3 d'eau, ce qui est fait le plus grand réservoir d'eau du New Jersey. Il est rempli par pompage par la New Jersey Water Supply Authority, depuis la Rockaway Creek (en). Histoire Après la sécheresse de 1953, les élus du New Jersey s'inquiètent de possibles pénuries d'eau. Ils projettent de construite un réservoir dans l'ouest de l'État pour alimenter Newark et sa banlieue. En 1958, les électeurs de l'État — à l'exception de ceux du comté de Hunterdon — votent en faveur d'une émission d'obligations à hauteur de 46 millions de dollars pour la création des réservoirs de Round Valley et de Spruce Run (en). Malgré des oppositions locales, l'État du New Jersey acquiert peu à peu les terrains nécessaires à la construction du barrage. Il est mis en eau au milieu des années 1960. En 1977, le lac est relié à la Rockaway Creek (en) et donc au bassin du Raritan. Le lac est parfois surnommé le « triangle des Bermudes du New Jersey ». Depuis sa construction, plusieurs personnes y sont mortes, notamment en raison du vent et des eaux froides du réservoir, et certains corps n'ont jamais été retrouvés. Protection Le réservoir se trouve au sein d'une zone récréative de 3 684 acres (1 491 ha). Les activités de pêche et de jeu sont gérées par la Division du poisson et de la vie sauvage du Département de la protection de l'environnement du New Jersey (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) Division of Fish and Wildlife) tandis que les autres équipements sont administrés par le Service des parcs d'État (NJDEP State Park Service).
