Budd Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Mount Olive Township, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

[13] Budd Lake was named for John Budd. [14] Prior to that, it was called Hattacawanna Lake. [15]

Budd Lake, which the community is named after, is the source of the South Branch Raritan River. A glacial lake at an elevation of 933 feet (284 m), Budd Lake has a surface area of 374 acres (1.51 km2). [17] It is 7–12 feet deep, and can have large algal blooms. The bog, created by thousands of years of decaying plant material, supports wetland plants such as black spruce and tamarack, which grow on the floating mass. [17] The lake is recharged through groundwater seepage through a series of wetlands, and serves as the headwaters of the Raritan River's South Branch. [18] It is closely bordered by U.S. Route 46 to the south, and Sand Shore Road to the east. [19]
Budd Lake was named for John Budd, who acquired 1,300 acres (530 ha) of land in the area in 1714. [20] Prior to that, it was called Hattacawanna Lake. [21]
