Harrisonville Lake is a public lake in Gloucester County and Salem County, New Jersey, managed by New Jersey DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife. It is public water managed for fishing by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife. Public access confirmed via NJDEP Great Fishing Close to Home.
An NJDEP spring/fall trout-stocked lake — rainbow, brown and brook trout stocked from the Pequest Hatchery, over a resident largemouth bass and pickerel population.
Harrisonville Lake covers about 18 acres in the South Jersey (Pine Barrens & Delaware Bay) region. Anglers here mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, largemouth bass; chain pickerel are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Avis Millpond and Slabtown Lake.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in New Jersey on most waters; some park ponds and reservoirs have their own posted hours, and trout-stocked waters have specific in-season closures around stocking days (check the current stocking schedule).
Boats: The big reservoirs and glacial lakes (Round Valley, Spruce Run, Hopatcong, Greenwood, Swartswood, Merrill Creek) take trailered boats via a state ramp, most with a horsepower or electric-only limit; Pine Barrens rivers and smaller lakes are canoe/kayak/car-top.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at New Jersey state parks and forests near many of these waters (Round Valley, Swartswood, Stokes, Wharton, Bass River, Belleplain); Wildlife Management Area waters are day-use only.
Tackle: A New Jersey Trout Stamp is required in addition to your fishing licence to fish for or possess trout here; trout water follows seasonal and in-season-closure rules, and several reaches are fly-fishing-only or catch-and-release — check the current NJ Freshwater Fishing Digest.
Anyone 16 to 69 needs a New Jersey freshwater fishing licence — the resident annual is about $22.50, the non-resident annual about $34. A Trout Stamp (about $10.50 resident / $20 non-resident) is required in addition to fish for or possess trout. New Jersey residents 70 and older and anyone under 16 fish free. Buy from NJ Fish & Wildlife at nj.gov/dep/fgw. A New Jersey freshwater fishing licence covers this water — it's on NJDEP's 'Great Fishing Close to Home' public-access list.
