Potash Lake Access

Potash Lake Recreation Area in Oakland, Bergen County offers a public boat launch providing access to a narrow, scenic section of Pompton Lake created by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood mitigation on the Ramapo River.

The area features a parking lot accessible from West Oakland Avenue and serves as an alternative to the lower lake section, though visitors should be aware of nearby Interstate 287 road noise.
