A little about the lake itself: Lake Hopatcong is only an hour from NYC yet it feels like a different world out here once you are immersed in "lake time". The lake has a long and rich history, discovered by the Lenape Indians 14,000 years ago, this was the chic destination for New York actors and socialites at the turn of the century and the roaring 20s. Today, the Lake is is knows as the largest in New Jersey with 43 miles of shoreline and is very popular for fishing, water sports and restaurant-hopping via boat. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the vicinity and also all around the lake featuring lake views and the ability to "boat hop".

The immediate surrounding area has more activities that I can possibly list here such as multiple Mini golf destinations, more hiking trails, shopping etc... You can find more information on by visiting Lakehopatcong dot com, or by simply googling "Things to do at Lake Hopatcong".
