Hopatcong is a borough in Sussex County in the northwest corner of New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 15,147 residents. The most significant tourist attraction to the town is Lake Hopatcong, which is the largest lake in the state of New Jersey. The town and lake have a strong history, especially given its close proximity to New York City. The lake became a major resort area in the 1880s through the 1930s. It's still popular with tourists who come for the charming town and water recreational activities. Hopatcong is easily accessible via Interstate 80 and State Highways 10, 46 and 206. It's only 40 miles from New York City, which is why it originally became a summer getaway for the wealthy from the city. An amusement park called Bertrands Island, which was accessible via the lake, trolley or by car through Mount Arlington, was constructed on the lake. In later years, the building of Interstate 80, which is a major U.S. highway, led to the town of Hopatcong becoming a permanent residential community. The Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum is located in a rustic 19th century building and offers a look at the history of New Jersey's largest lake. The museum has displays and memorabilia, historical artifacts, photographs and exhibits on the lake, the area and the working of the Morris Canal. The Museum is located on the grounds of Lake Hopatcong State Park in Landing, just 2 miles off Route I-80 at exit 28. Admission is free.
