About Lake Fred
Stockton College has a good diversity of habitats and areas to watch wildlife and appreciate nature. Lake Fred and three smaller ponds at the center of campus were created when a dam was built for cranberry farming in the 19th century. Another series of lakes on the Eastern border of the campus, including Lake Pam, were created as borrow pits when the Garden State Parkway was built in the 1950s. Aside from the lakes, the campus has beautiful Atlantic white-cedar swamps, hardwood swamps, open grass fields, different examples of upland Pine Barrens forests, and vernal ponds filled with amphibians in the spring. One section of campus, Kennedy Farm, was an operating pig farm into the 1960s, before the college was built. Today it contains a mix of early successional forest and open fields.
