Hopatcong State Park has so much to offer families all year long!

Hopatcong State Park has so much to offer families all year long!

Hopatcong State Park is one of my favorite parks to visit any time of year. It offers a wide variety of activities for families during every season from swimming and having picnics in the spring and summer to hiking and fishing in the fall to sledding down the hill and making snowmen in the winter. It is the perfect family destination as it is not only tons of fun, it is also FREE most of the year! (In the summer, it is only $6/car.)

Another wonderful perk about visiting Hopatcong State Park is that it allows visitors access to Lake Hopatcong which extends through Morris and Sussex county. This amazing lake is nine miles long with 2500 acres of fresh water. Families can rent a boat from one of the many local marinas to enjoy a fun-filled day on the lake. Here are some activities you can enjoy:

  • Boating
  • Fishing
  • Kayaking
  • Canoeing
  • Jet-skiing
  • Quality family time
