I moved to Ringwood last year and absolutely LOVE IT!! I'm not going to go on and on about because i'm sure everyone on this board is sick to death of me singing the towns praises but if you go to my profile and look up all posts by me you will find a lot about Ringwood and how beautiful it is here.
A quick summary--There is A LOT to do in town IF you are the outdoorsy type, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, ice skating, skiing etc. If your looking for places to party and be in the center of the action there is next to nothing to do. It's a wonderful place to raise your children, in fact i've met a lot of people in town that grew up in Ringwood reached young adult age moved out (can't wait to get out of this boring town!!) then promptly moved back as soon as they had children to raise. You mentioned Skylands lake, it's nice but if you can I'd try to look into somewhere that has lake rights at either Cupsaw or Erskine as the lakes are bigger and nicer and there are more activities. But at the end of the day ANY lake rights are nice to have.
It's the kind of town where you can leave your doors unlocked and let your kids play outside with no worries (okay minimal worries about the kids after all a kidnapping can happen anywhere) I haven't met anyone that sends their children to Ringwood Christian but the school looks nice and well kept. PM me if you need more info, happy to share
