CAN YOU GET ME A RIDE?

You will need to have transport in order to attend these events.
Sunrise Lake, in a part of the park which is 1 mile away, about a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute car ride. They offer paddle boats, row boats and wibit, a floating jungle gym in the lake. Here is an overview from an article in NJ Monthly What Sunrise Lake in Lewis Morris Park lacks in size it makes up for in the variety of activities it offers. This family-friendly spot features a 30-by-50-foot floating jungle gym called a Wibit, from which kids can slide into the lake. Half the fun is climbing back on (older siblings can help the little ones). There is a separate cost for the beach /swimming( included for all except those coming only to the BBQ) and then boating and witbit is additional. For boating, they usual rowboat and paddleboat rentals ($5 to $7 for half an hour). Here is a link to their website, with more details and pricing.
