Community

With four towns, two counties, and the state, all claiming at least some portion of Lake Hopatcong, the community can sometimes feel disjointed. One of the goals of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation is to build the sense of lake community, and to support the local businesses that surround it.

Environment

The Lake Hopatcong Foundation has a strong focus on maintaining and improving the lake environment as the health of the lake affects all facets of the Lake Hopatcong experience. Programs center around improving water quality and invasive aquatic species prevention.

Education

The Foundation is committed to understanding Lake Hopatcong’s crucial role as an environmental resource and sharing that knowledge with future generations to ensure its protection and sustainability.

Advocacy

The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is a committed advocate for the protection, support, and funding of Lake Hopatcong, its watershed, and public lakes throughout the state.
