Brick Reservoir is a really nice everyday walking spot because the path circles the water the whole way, so the view never gets boring. The 1.6-mile loop is flat, paved, and easy to follow, with benches and lookout points scattered around the reservoir. It’s simple, scenic, and one of those places that’s easy to keep coming back to when you just want a good walk with your dog.

Know before you go

  • The reservoir reopened June 9, 2026 after being closed for nearly ten months for major infrastructure improvements. It is currently back to its regular public schedule.
  • There are two parking areas: the main lot at 811 Herbertsville Road in Brick and another at 2429 Metedeconk Road in Allenwood.
  • The walking path is fairly exposed with limited shade, so the paved path can feel hot on sunny summer afternoons.
  • There is a sunset deck if you time your visit right
  • The reservoir is closed on Mondays and on federal holidays
  • Bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, and similar wheeled recreation are prohibited, which helps keep the path focused on walkers and runners.
