Lake Hopatcong offers camping, water sports, fine dining and much more. The Sunday Sailboat regattas on the lake are a sight to see... especially when the wind kicks up! Remember, when watching from your boat not to go into the course area! And, most important remember a sailboat always has the right of way when not being powered by a motor. Water skiing! Yes this is the place to be, the many coves of Lake Hopatcong offer wonderful water skiing conditions. No matter what your water sport activity is... waterskiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing or tubing, Lake Hopatcong has great areas to enjoy these sports and the lake is usually like glass in the early morning.

Water ski instruction is also available for the beginner who wants to become an expert. Speed boats and pleasure boats are always welcome and rentals are available at many of the area marinas. Patio boats - also known as pontoon boats - are also very popular here on the lake. Yes, the "party barge" is alive and well on Lake Hopatcong NJ! With two public beach areas and the Mahlon Dickerson Reservation for camping you do not have to live here to be on vacation.
