Lake Ceva is a 6-acre (2.4 ha) man-made lake near the Shabakunk Creek on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing Township, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States.[1][2] The lake was created when an earthen dam was constructed across a small tributary of the Shabakunk in the 1920s by a local landowner, prior to the construction of the current college campus.[3] The lake is adjacent to Lake Sylva, and together the two lakes are the basis of the name of the Hillwood Lakes section of Ewing.
