After boating all morning or getting some sun, residents can head to Lola's Waterfront Tex-Mex restaurant for lunch. Afterwards, they can quench their thirst with a Guinness from Patrick's Pub, an Irish eatery on the water. Hopatcong is also home to the Garden State Yacht Club, where members can go water tubing, ride a sailboat and relax poolside. The club has events all year round, like a Halloween costume party, foreign film nights and kid's activities.
Locals can also access the lake from Hopatcong State Park, which offers volleyball, soccer and fishing, as well as a sledding hill when snow blankets the town. In the winter months, the lake offers ice fishing and the annual Leap in the Lake, a polar plunge-style event. Outdoor enthusiasts are near several other parks, including Jefferson Dog Park, Veteran's Field Memorial Park and Civic Center Field.

Local diners and farm markets highlight community spirit
At the Hopatcong Diner, a no frills place, locals can enjoy a grilled cheese with a side of disco fries—french fries covered in mozzarella and gravy. They can also order pad Thai or pad see ew from Twisted on Thai Cafe. "There's no main highway that cuts through it. It's very much a small town that doesn't feel very commercial," Bolger says.
Beloved annual events include the Memorial Day Parade and Hopatcong Days. Every summer on Sundays, there's a farmers market that features an abundance of local businesses.
Hopatcong Diner is a go-to spot for locals craving comfort food and quick service.
