Sunrise Lake Now Open Weekends

Swimming, pedal boats, row boats and Wibit fun await.

If you've been waiting all year to get back on the Wibit, here's good news from the county: 

Morris County's picturesque Sunrise Lake is now open weekends in June.

In addition to swimming, visitors can enjoy boating on the lake, with pedal boats and row boats available for rental.

Sunrise Lake also features Wibit, an obstacle course-like track in the lake where players can race each other in the water. Wibit kayaks are also available for a relaxing ride or a race with family or friends.

Sunrise Lake is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in June, and will open seven days a week beginning Monday, June 27. The lake will close the last week in August, but it will reopen Sept. 3 in time for the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Information about beach access fees and Sunrise Lake's hours of operation may be obtained by calling (973) 829-8257 or by visiting the Morris County Park Commission website, www.morrisparks.net.

Sunrise Lake is part of Lewis Morris County Park on Mendham Road in Morris Township.

The park's more than 1,100 acres includes a number of recreational facilities including a Parcourse Exercise Circuit, three ballfields, a group camping area and six distinct picnic areas.
