A HUGE thank-you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and planted 2,318 native plants on a hillside along Mt. Arlington Blvd to help absorb stormwater, filter runoff, and provide valuable habitat for local wildlife. With so many plants to get in the ground, we’re grateful to every volunteer who showed up, got their hands dirty, and helped make this project a success (these pictures just show a few!).

This water protection project is a partnership of the Lake Hopatcong Commission, Lake Hopatcong Foundation, Roxbury Township, and Princeton Hydro, with funding through a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant awarded to the Lake Hopatcong Commission.

🌧 A little rain, a LOT of heart! 💙

Lake Loop 2026 was one for the books! On October 4, 170 amazing participants biked, hiked, paddled, cheered each other on, and helped raise an incredible $55,000 (and counting) to support a healthy, vibrant Lake Hopatcong! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to our participants, sponsors, volunteers, safety partners, Hopatcong State Park, and everyone who helped make Lake Loop happen. From painting 70 miles of roadway and placing 4 miles of buoys to pouring drinks, serving sandwiches, and keeping everyone safe, it truly takes a community to make this event possible.

🎉 Prizes were handed out to our Lake Loop fundraisers who went the extra mile! Click the article below for a full list of winners, including Randy Artiglere, our top fundraising individual, who raised an incredible $2,729! 👏

🚴 Three routes. One beautiful lake. How far will you ride? 🌳

Whether you're up for a 20-mile spin around the lake or ready to tackle 62 miles of rolling hills and scenic backroads, Lake Loop has a cycling challenge for you!

Join us Sunday, October 4 (rain or shine!) for our annual bike, hike, OR paddle around Lake Hopatcong. Thanks to our partnering sponsor, Cycle Craft, and our friends at Avenues in Motion, we're offering three exciting routes:

🚴 20 miles: Loop the lake over rolling terrain, with beautiful views of Lake Hopatcong along the way. Great for weekend warriors and cyclists looking for a scenic ride.

🚴 40 miles: Ready for more? This route adds hilly stretches north of the lake, taking you through Sparta and Ogdensburg.

🚴 62 miles: Go the distance! Take on the longest route, with plenty of hills, streams, forested preserves, and charming town centers along the way.

And we've got your back! Rest stops along the routes offer water, nutrition, portable bathrooms, bike assistance, and emergency response support. Plus, Cycle Craft will provide a Support and Gear (SAG) vehicle to help with breakdowns and assist riders who need a hand along the way.

A few things to know:

🚦 All routes are marked with colored road arrows: 62 miles (orange), 40 miles (pink), and 20 miles (green).

🗺️ Route maps and cue sheets will be available at registration.

⚠️ These are open-road courses, not closed roads, so riders must use caution and follow traffic laws.

🚴 Recommended for ages 18 and up. Riders under 16 are not permitted, and minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Remember, this is a ride, not a race! Find your distance, enjoy the scenery, and have a great day on two wheels.
