Summary

[edit]
Description

Mercer Lake, also known as Lake Mercer, is a man-made lake in West Windsor, New Jersey. The lake is wholly contained within the boundaries of Mercer County Park. The lake came into being with the 1975 construction of a dam to control flooding on the Assunpink Creek in nearby Trenton by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resources Conservation Service). The basin now occupied by the lake was excavated by crews building nearby Interstate 295 at no additional cost to taxpayers. The lake is the home of one of the US Olympic Rowing Team's training centers. It has played host to the 1988, 1992, 2004 and 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Rowing, in addition to USRowing National Team selection events, international regattas, and both collegiate and junior national championship regattas. The infrastructure and topography of the racecourse meets FISA standards and PNRA has the equipment necessary to host the world's largest regattas.
