Our largest field trip season ever is in the books!

This spring, a record-breaking 2,116 grade school students joined us at Hopatcong State Park for hands-on environmental education focused on lake ecology, water quality, biodiversity, and watershed stewardship.

Students tested water quality aboard the Floating Classroom, examined plankton under digital microscopes, searched for aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Musconetcong River, explored local history and geology on a discovery hike, and learned how everyday actions can impact our waterways.

A huge thank you to our dedicated educators and volunteers (more than 50!) who brought these experiences to life, and to our hosts at Hopatcong State Park.

We are grateful to BASF, FirstEnergy Foundation, Lake Hopatcong Elks Lodge #782, Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation, Princeton Hydro, and the James P. Verhalen Family Foundation for helping make these educational experiences possible.

🐝 🌼 What’s the Buzz? Pollinator Week!

Pollinators play a vital role in our daily lives, helping to produce many of the foods we eat and supporting healthy ecosystems. From bees and butterflies to beetles, birds, and bats, these hardworking species deserve a little appreciation.

Lake Hopatcong Cruises will once again honor local veterans with its annual Veterans Cruises on June 27.

Community members are encouraged to show their appreciation by lining the shoreline, waving flags, decorating docks, and cheering as veterans aboard the Miss Lotta make their way around the lake. Several public viewing locations will also be available for those who would like to participate.

The first cruise, featuring veterans from Jefferson and Hopatcong, will set sail from 9:00 to 11:00 am. The second cruise, featuring veterans from Mt. Arlington and Roxbury, will set sail from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Last night, at our annual meeting, we took the opportunity to acknowledge a key staff member and beloved coworker, Holly Odgers. Holly, our communications director, has dedicated 10 years to the Lake Hopatcong Foundation and efforts to protect and improve New Jersey’s largest lake.

There isn’t a single Lake Hopatcong Foundation program or project that Holly hasn’t collaborated on, improved upon, and successfully shared with the masses. From Lake-Friendly Living, Water Scouts, the Lake Hopatcong Trail, and our water trails, to educational field trips, the Block Party, Gala and Auction, Lake Loop, programs at the Lake Hopatcong Train Station, advocacy work from Lake Hopatcong to Washington D.C., and everything in between, Holly has not only shared our message but taken an active role in bringing our initiatives to life.

Spend time on our website? That’s Holly. Read our weekly e-newsletter? Holly again. Picked up a copy of our updated Lake Hopatcong Guide Map? Holly! Noticed a recent post, video, flyer, banner, etc? Holly, Holly, Holly, and Holly!

So, join us in celebrating Holly Odgers and all she does for the Foundation and Lake Hopatcong! We couldn’t do it without her!

🚣‍♀️ Protect our lake while you paddle!

We're looking for volunteer Water Scouts to help monitor Lake Hopatcong for water chestnut, an invasive aquatic plant that can spread rapidly, affecting wildlife habitat, recreation, and water quality.

If you enjoy spending time on the water, you can help protect the lake while doing something you love. Every scouting trip helps protect the long-term health of the lake. Training is provided.
