Sparta is a township located in scenic, rural northwest New Jersey's Sussex County. It's about 45 miles northwest of New York City. As of the 2010 census, the population of Sparta was 19,722. Sparta consists of 11 private lake communities; the largest of which is Lake Mohawk. Lake Mohawk is the largest artificial body of water in New Jersey that's a private lake. The Lake Mohawk Boardwalk and Plaza are listed on the State and National Historic Registers. There is a main lake in the mountains and an alpine pool that is fed from spring water higher up in the mountains. A charming alpine motif is used in the community for its' buildings. The town center has buildings that resemble small castles or alpine architecture, along with restaurants, a post office and shops. This distinctive architecture was a major reason for listing Lake Mohawk on the National Register of Historic Places. Also, in Sparta is a tiered boardwalk along the northern edge of the lake near the town center. The country club sits at the boardwalk near a waterfall created by the dam of the Wallkill River. Annual events in Sparta include Beer and Wine Tasting, German Christmas Market, Holiday Tree Lighting, Easter and Mothers Day buffet, and 4th of July Buffet and Fireworks. There are beaches along the lakes in Sparta, but membership is required for owners and renters alike for use of them. At the southern end of the lake is a swimming pool and tennis complex originally called the Marine Pool, constructed to resemble the deck of an ocean liner.
