The Lake Topanemus Commission is a joint entity established by the Borough of Freehold and Freehold Township. The Commission, which is responsible for restoring and conserving the lake and its surrounding parks, conducted a Watershed Management Study in April 1996. As a result, the Commission is currently distributing a biannual newsletter to landowners which provides information on watershed management, best management practices, and various activities sponsored by the commission which encourage public participation.
