Sinopsis
Excerpt from Red Bank: Paper Read Before the Monmouth County, Historical Association July 26, 1900
Around the club house, winding in and out among the trees, are pretty walks and drives, whose names are suggestive of the novel, such as Coquette Lane, Fennimore Terrace, Cupid Path, Witch's Lane, Gypsy Pass and Water Witch Drive.
Standing on the veranda of the club house, looking toward the ocean, we see the site of the old inlet, through which the Water Witch used to enter Shrewsbury river. In front of the club house, on the eastern slope of the Highlands, is Seadrift Path, and on the right is Seadrift, the summer cottage of E. S. Atwood, treasurer. Of Water Witch Club.
Four or five hundred feet north of the Lust in Rust ruins is the site of the Huddy fallen) where the patriot, Joshua Huddy, was cruelly hung by the Tories on April 12, 1782.
The Water Witch Club is composed principally of New York gentlemen, who spend the summer months on the Highlands, each member occupying his own cottage, and all of the cottages convenient to the club house, where the members and their families gather daily for social converse and where the stranger is always most kindly taken in.

Excerpt from Red Bank: Paper Read Before the Monmouth County, Historical Association July 26, 1900
Water Witch Clnb House, where the Monmouth County Historical Association met on July 26, 1900, is situated almost at the summit of the famous Highlands of Navesink, overlooking Sandy Hook Bay, Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. Water Witch Park derives its name from James Fennimore Coopers novel, "Water Witch," of which many of the scenes were laid in Sandy Hook Bay and upon the adjacent Navesink Highlands.
The locality has most interesting reminiscences for the student of colonial and revolutionary history. The reader of Coopers delightful romance the most truly imaginative that came from his pen will recall the strangely-named villa, "Lust in Rust," built by the smuggling Dutch Alderman Van Beverout upon one of these elevations, and the adventures of the "Water Witch," guided by the mysterious sea-green lady, which glided in and out of a secret inlet that existed near the Hook. Nothing now remains of the dwelling of the portly alderman and Lady Barberie, his lovely ward, excepting the cellar, filled with the debris of fallen walls.
Around the club house, winding in and out among the trees, are pretty walks and drives, whose names are suggestive of the novel, such as Coquette Lane, Fennimore Terrace, Cupid Path, Witch's Lane, Gypsy Pass and Water Witch Drive.
Standing on the veranda of the club house, looking toward the ocean, we see the site of the old inlet, through which the "Water Witch" used to enter Shrewsbury river. In front of the club house, on the eastern slope of the Highlands, is Seadrift Path, and on the right is "Seadrift," the summer cottage of E.S. Atwood, treasurer of Water Witch Club.
Four or five hundred feet north of the "Lust in Rust ruins" is the site of the "Huddy Tree," (now fallen) where the patriot, Joshua Huddy, was cruelly hung by the Tories on April 12, 1782.
The Water Witch Club is composed principally of New York gentlemen, who spend the summer months on the Highlands, each member occupying his own cottage, and all of the cottages convenient to the club house, where the members and their families gather daily for social converse and where the stranger is always most kindly taken in.
