7 Things To Do With The Family On Lake Hopatcong

Get the lay of the land

Known as New Jersey’s largest lake, Lake Hopatcong is a great place to take the fam for a day on the water. Situated in Morris County and just 30 minutes from the Delaware Water Gap, the lake comprises 45 miles of shoreline and forms part of the border between Sussex and Morris counties. There are a few access points to get to the lake with a boat, including Hopatcong State Park and Lee’s County Park Marina . Want to learn more about Lake Hopatcong and its rich history as a resort town from the turn of the century? Stop by the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum, with exhibits and displays showing how Lake Hopatcong became a tourist mecca attracting thousands each summer. Check out the carousel horse and memorabilia from the famous Bertrand Island Park, a former amusement park that was Lake Hopatcong’s version of the boardwalk from the 1920s until it closed in 1983.

Cruise the lake 

One of the most iconic things to do in Lake Hopatcong is Lake Hopatcong Cruises, where you can board the Miss Lotta (which holds the honor of being the largest boat on the largest lake in NJ) and take in the lake perspective views. The two-story vessel with an open-air top deck hosts cruises from the beginning of May until the end of October, so you have lots of time to climb aboard and set sail. While you take in the scenery around you, enjoy a delicious brunch, lunch, or even a dinner cruise. Love a good theme night? Miss Lotta offers themed cruises like the popular Cigar and Whiskey Night or a fully narrated Historical Cruise. You can even book your next special occasion or private event on the boat.

Enjoy fun watersports

Got a family member who is always up for a watery adventure? Lake Hopatcong is ideal for water skiing, wakeboarding, riding a tube, sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Or rent a patio party boat or a pontoon boat, where you can spend time with friends having group fun. There are a few places to rent boats, including Bridge Marina , Lake Hopatcong Boat Club & Charters , and Watersport Experience .

Take a dip at the swimming holes and beaches

One of the best ways to spend the day with the family is soaking up the rays on the beach before jumping into the water for a cool swim. Like the shore, crowds flock to Lake Hopatcong on the weekends, so be prepared to claim your spot on the sand early in the day. For public beaches, head to Byram Cove or Hopatcong State Park, which have roped-off areas for swimming and lifeguards on duty. Avoid the main lake area because of the deep water and sometimes heavy boat traffic.

Dine at one of the many restaurants

With some of the finest, and also some of the only, lakeside restaurants in New Jersey, Lake Hopatcong has a bunch of dining options. But, more than just delicious food, you can sit outside while watching the boats go by or just take in the breathtaking views. The best part is that there are lots of different places to choose from. Try brunch or listen to live music at The Windlass among gorgeous views, order a pizza family- Cambiotti’s Tomato Pie Cafe, which was voted third best pizza in the state, or stop by Paul & Christa’s Diner for Greek specialties and hearty breakfast foods. And if you’re lucky enough to rent a boat, pull it up to the historic Main Lake Market dock, tie the boat up, and head in to get subs and ice cream to bring back on board. 

Play a round of putt-putt

If you have littles in the family, you know sometimes a day of relaxing by the water isn’t in the cards. But Lake Hopatcong has plenty to keep everyone entertained. One of our favorites is Lake Hopatcong Golf Club, an adorable mini golf course with each hole representing an iconic spot of Lake Hopatcong history, including the Yacht Club, Main Lake Market, and Wildcat rollercoaster from Bertrand’s Island, which stood tall on the lake until it was torn down in 1983. Another putt-putt course near the water is Castle Cove, which has an 18-hole castle-themed mini golf course and an arcade full of classic games like skee ball, air hockey, and claw machines. If you’re looking for more action, take a ride over to Wild West City, which is only a few miles away, and discover one of the most unique theme parks in our state.

Sit back and enjoy boating events

Throughout the year, Lake Hopatcong hosts numerous boating events that even the youngest members of your family will love to watch. The Sunday Sailboat Regattas put up their sails for a race around the lake each Sunday during the summer. And one of the biggest events of the year is the Lake Hopatcong Grand Prix , which brings the excitement of powerboat racing with 40+ boats competing on the lake.  At the end of the event, there is live music into the night, where you can meet the racing teams. Also, don’t miss the New Jersey State Powerboat Championships  

What to know before you visit Lake Hopatcong

 With events happening throughout the year, take a look at the calendar for dates and times. There are marinas where you can rent boats, jet skis, water skis, and more to use on the lake.  Want to stay longer than a day? There are camping sites along the lake, but if you don’t want to rough it, a few  hotels are nearby , though none are directly on the lake.

Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club celebrates its history with anniversary ball

  • Published: Jul. 08, 2010, 10:04 p.m.
  • Dan Goldberg | The Star-Ledger

MOUNT ARLINGTON--This weekend, the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club will party like it’s 1910.

Dressed in period attire, about 100 guests will dock at the club tomorrow evening and file into the ballroom where champagne glasses are to be raised in celebration of the building’s 100th birthday.

Approximately 200 additional guests are expected to arrive for the clubhouse’s anniversary ball.

Recognized on both the National and New Jersey State Register of Historic Places, the clubhouse, on North Bertrand Island Road in Mount Arlington, is one of the last vestiges of the lake’s glory days.

“There’s almost nothing left,” said lake historian Marty Kane. “We like to say it is the last real connection to Lake Hopatcong’s golden era.”

That era hosted millionaires, celebrities, politicians and middle-class Americans from across the country who escaped to the state’s largest lake for the promise of cool summer breezes, swimming and sailing.

“It is an important part of the lake and the community,” said Russ Felter, chairman of the Lake Hopatcong Commission.

The club has 180 families as members, said manager Sue Gleason, who is working to organize this weekend’s festivities.

The rustic ballroom, the club’s largest room, is constructed of local timber donated from residences around the lake. Its doors still swing open to alleviate summer steam as the club has never installed air conditioning.

“It’s great they have preserved the whole club feeling and preserved the tradition,” Gleason said. “It’s still going strong and I think it’s getting better.”

The yacht club itself is actually 106-years-old. In August 1904, the Hopatcong Lake and Field Club and the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club agreed to merge into the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club, according to Kane.

The building, the site of which was chosen for its majestic views of the lake, looks much as it did when it opened in 1910. Throughout its Spartan rooms are trinkets and trophies, showing the club has withstood the test of time.

Framed photographs – some more than 80-years-old - line the walls, and worn, wooden croquet mallets rest below a sign instructing “Hippies” to use the back door.

Designed by Professor Lewis Frederick Pilcher, a noted New York City architect and summer resident of Lake Hopatcong, the building is a two-story frame colonial Georgian Revival style structure with a sharply contrasting Adirondack camp style interior, according to Kane.

Events will begin tonight with a beefsteak dinner and a historical presentation from Kane.

“We want to congratulate them,” Felter said, “and wish them well on another 100 years.

Committed to Tradition

By Marty Kane I May 02, 2022

Opening of the Yacht Club in 1910, Located in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey

As we go to press, the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club is getting ready to follow a 111-year-old tradition and close the building for winter. The pipes will be drained, the furniture moved inside and the building shuttered for some six months. Except for a brief trial of staying open year-round in the 1960s, it has been this way since the founding of the club.

While times and the community that the club serves have greatly changed over the years, the yacht club remains seasonal, harking back to when Lake Hopatcong welcomed crowds of visitors in the summer and shrank back to a remote destination until summer returned. Founded in 1905, the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club initially operated from the grounds of “Wildwood,” the home of first Commodore R.L. Edwards in Hopatcong. Intending to build their own clubhouse, members approved the purchase of some 100 feet of lakefront property on Bertrand Island in 1907 at a cost of $2,500.

The location offered one of the lake’s finest views. Original plans called for a Colonial-style building with large porches on the first and second floors, a grill room, billiard room, parlors and an enormous ballroom with seating for over 700 people. Quickly recognizing the property was insufficient for its plans, the club purchased adjoining land in 1908 for an additional $2,500.

Initial plans were to have the new building ready for the 1909 season, but this proved to be more complicated than anticipated as meetings were held with little or no progress, several officers and trustees resigned and money was a constant challenge. The club would ultimately go through three sets of architects, several rounds of price quotations and multiple plans for financing.

In March of 1909, the club received a quote of $7,348 based on the original construction plans. Having expected a significantly lower cost, the board of trustees directed the building committee to limit construction to an auditorium and two reception rooms at a cost not to exceed $3,500.

The interior of the Yacht Club on its opening in 1910.

After a second set of plans proved insufficient, a third concept was presented by Lewis F. Pilcher, a noted New York City architect who had joined the building committee in July. Pilcher, the son of Dr. Lewis Pilcher, who owned Eagle’s Nest cottage in Davis Cove, would later serve for many years as state architect in charge of all buildings erected by the state of New York.

Drawing upon his experience as a professor of art at Vassar College, Pilcher presented a new design that combined a Colonial Georgian exterior with an Adirondack-style interior.

The board quickly approved Pilcher’s design and requested that he obtain bids. By this time, club leaders had concluded that a cost of $7,000 to $7,500 would be more realistic. Builder George E. Reeves’ bid of $7,100 to build the structure was the lowest of four received in September 1909.

To help finance the building, the club introduced a $15 initiation fee for all newly approved active members and $5 fee for new junior members. Annual dues were doubled to $10 for active members and $5 for junior members.

Construction costs were partially offset by the donation of timber from several club members’ properties, including a significant amount from Vice Commodore P.B. Bird’s home on Point Pleasant Road. Most of the lumber was hauled across the ice to Bertrand Island over the winter.

Typical modifications during construction included adding stone for the fireplace and plaster for the bathrooms. Along the way, the board scrapped plans for a second-floor bathroom. Building a dock added $175 and installing a flagpole cost $150. In addition, water tanks, a cesspool, switchboard, grading, walkways, pumps, a power plant and plumbing fixtures brought the total to $9,860. Taxes were assessed by Mount Arlington at $100 per year.

The new clubhouse featured wide porches on the first and second floors and was comprised of two wings, each with spacious rooms that included a grill, committee rooms, card rooms, retiring rooms, smoking room, kitchen, pantry and dressing rooms for performances. A movable stage could be placed in the large ballroom, the interior of which was finished with rough-hewn timber and featured an enormous stone fireplace built of local rock.

The fireplace was used actively for decades and was enough to take the chill out of the room during the early and late seasons while giving the interior a warm glow. Since electricity was still not available locally, the clubhouse had its own electric plant. For many years, the club was dependent on a water tower that stood just behind the building and can be seen in some early photographs.

The Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club held a formal opening on July 9, 1910, and the clubhouse soon became a center for lake activity. The club would probably have faded into obscurity over time like earlier groups on the lake had it not built the clubhouse and sunk permanent roots. Following the tumultuous years of planning and building, the July 16, 1910 edition of the Lake Hopatcong Breeze reported that through the building of the new clubhouse “the Yacht Club has been born again and taken on a new lease on life.” The building remained basically untouched until the 1930s. As a family club, the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club had initially banned the sale and consumption of alcohol. When Prohibition ended in 1933, there was a move to change this policy to compete with the night clubs and bars opening at the lake.

Without the sale of alcohol, many members felt the club would never restore its membership numbers, which had shrunk drastically during the Great Depression. After a contentious vote in the late 1930s, the bylaws were changed to allow alcohol, prompting the resignation of several members.

Volunteers built a bar by enclosing the porch on the eastern side of the clubhouse and building a small addition. Over the years, this renovation was found to be inadequate and, as the 1960s loomed, the club looked to address this situation.

Following the 1961 season, a professional architect and builder were hired to remove the portico on the east side of the structure and create a modern addition that included a new and larger bar with a dining area, new locker and shower room, powder room, enlarged kitchen, and additional basement and kitchen storage rooms. It was at this time that serious thought was given to using the clubhouse year round. The installation of a heating system—which included a future ability to add air conditioning— allowed the club to utilize this part of the building on a limited basis throughout the entire year.

During the 1962-1963 off-season, the clubhouse hosted parties for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. Winter use proved to be costly, however, and the club limited its expanded season to Halloween parties for a few years in the 1960s. This topic was revisited over the years, but the club maintained its seasonal status, generally closing from October to April.

In recent years, with the porch in need of substantial restoration, club leadership and members started looking into ways to return the upper porch to functionality.

Early photos document the popularity of the upper level with its outstanding vistas of the lake, but maintenance, safety concerns and building code issues left this area unusable for decades.

Club leadership, backed by club membership, authorized and supported the second major renovation in the history of the building, which had been placed on the New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Work that began in fall 2019 and was largely completed for the 2020 season brought the clubhouse closer to its original look by restoring the symmetrical shape of the lower porch, reopening the upper porch and making the building more functional internally.

While the clubhouse of the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club is looking in great shape, like many centenarians it will soon be taking a nap and awakening to welcome summer 2022 at the lake.
