Clementon: Water Park, Lakes and Local History

Clementon offers a variety of reasons to get to know the area: water attractions, lakes and traces of the charcoal industry. If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Clementon, consider whether the seasonal water park, fishing or local history will be the focus of your trip.

Water Attractions with Different Rules

Lazy River is an outdoor swimming pool where visitors can float along gentle currents. Visitors must be at least 42 inches tall to use it on their own. Non-swimmers and children under 36 inches must wear a life jacket. These two requirements apply to different situations: using the pool without supervision and the life jacket requirement.

Splash World is an outdoor water park that is open seasonally, from Memorial Day through Labor Day. If the water park is the deciding factor in your choice of destination, this seasonal opening period is an important consideration when planning your stay.

The other water and children’s attractions mentioned also have their own requirements. Safari Train is a children’s attraction with a minimum height requirement of 36 inches. Big Wave Bay is a wave pool at Splash World; children under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult. If you’re planning a trip with children, it’s worth considering these details individually: minimum height, adult accompaniment and the life jacket requirement are not the same rule.

Lakes and Fishing

Clementon has numerous lakes within its boundaries. They were formed in the early 18th century by damming the northern headwaters of Timber Creek. This history is as much a part of the area as its present-day lakes.

Lake Worth is a 43.9-acre lake in Clementon and Lindenwold, on White Horse Pike near Rosemond Avenue. Its name and precise location provide a specific point of reference in the description of the area, while its size distinguishes the lake as a landscape feature in its own right.

Rowands Pond Wildlife Management Area covers 12.98 acres in Clementon Township. Rowands Pond is a small, scenic pond in the Big Timber Creek watershed and a popular fishing destination. Visitors interested in fishing will find a specific connection to nature here; the details about Lake Worth and Rowands Pond describe different bodies of water.

Traces of the Charcoal Industry

Clementon’s history includes remnants of the charcoal industry. These include Rowand Pond, stones from mill foundations and two small spillways. Rowands Pond is also the site of the first spillway made from recycled plastic to be built in the United States. Here, traces of earlier industrial use stand alongside a notable structure made from recycled material.

Clementon is also home to the Clementon Historical Museum. Together with the remnants of the charcoal industry, it offers another point of interest for travelers who are interested in the area’s history as well as its water and nature attractions.

When choosing Clementon as a vacation destination, it helps to decide what matters most to you: if Splash World is essential, its seasonal opening schedule matters; if lakes, fishing or history are the focus, those interests can shape your choice of destination. This makes it easier to search for a vacation rental that suits the kind of stay you want.
