The reservoir was formed in 1967, flooding areas that included the former CAPROC Field Civil Air Patrol airstrip.[3] The Lake Tappan reservoir covers 1,255 acres (5.1 km²),[2]{{rp|222}} the majority of its area being within New Jersey, and it contains {{convert|3.5|e9USgal|m3}} of water, with up to {{convert|12|to|13|e6USgal|m3}} released downstream daily into the Oradell Reservoir, which lies entirely within Bergen County in New Jersey. The passage of this water between reservoirs can occur in as rapidly as two to three hours. On March 11, 2003, New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey visited the reservoir and proposed protecting it as well as the nearby Woodcliff Lake Reservoir and their tributaries with Category 1 water purity status.[4] The reservoir is owned by Suez North America, a private utility. Lake Tappan is a local fishing spot as well, serving as a habitat for bluegill, bass, perch, catfish and carp.
