Woodcliff Lake is a reservoir in the New Jersey borough of Woodcliff Lake and portions of Hillsdale and Park Ridge, in Bergen County, United States. It was created circa 1903 by damming the Pascack Brook and is also fed by the Bear Brook which joins the Pascack at the reservoir. The creation of the lake led what had been the Borough of Woodcliff to change its name to Woodcliff Lake, to match the name of the new reservoir. The reservoir is owned by Suez North America, a private utility.
