Hobb Lake, also known as Bates Sawmill Pond, is a large man-made lake in Winslow Township, New Jersey. It is called a reservoir because it stores water. A long time ago, people could swim here, and it was even known as "The Lake of the Four Fountains." The lake gets its water from a stream called the Pump Branch, which is a smaller stream that flows into Albertson Brook.
