Still a favored destination for summer visitors, Hopatcong Borough has matured and evolved into a desirable year-round community. The state’s largest lake ensures residents of ample opportunities for boating and water sports against the backdrop of a wooded shoreline. Because this area grew up catering to visitors, many popular restaurants and night spots are available for evening entertainment. Housing options include a number of former summer cottages that have been converted to attractive year-round homes. Local shopping facilities are expanded by the sprawling Rockaway Townsquare Mall. Transportation efficiencies include Route 206 and access to Interstate 80 as well as local bus and taxi service. Hopatcong State Park crowns the recreational amenities that include an ice-skating rink, athletic fields, and private sports clubs.
