We are excited to announce tickets are now available for summer public cruises on the Lake Hopatcong Foundation Floating Classroom! Come aboard for informational and ecology-based learning cruises every Monday from July 11 through August 29, from 11 am to 12:30 pm. These Monday excursions will depart from Hopatcong State Park, 260 Lakeside Boulevard, Landing, NJ.
Once on board, guests enjoy a hands-on adventure, learning all about Lake Hopatcong, while taking part in experiments such as water clarity testing with secchi disks and collecting and studying plankton from lake water samples.
Tickets are $22 for adults, $18 for children age 17 and under, and $20 for seniors ages 65 and up. Activities are geared toward guests who are at least 10 years old, but younger guests are welcome to come aboard and join the cruise.
Tickets are non-refundable unless the cruise is canceled by the Lake Hopatcong Foundation due to severe weather or low attendance. If a cruise is not filled to the needed capacity for your selected cruise, we will contact you to reschedule or refund your full purchase price. Cruise cancellations will be announced 24 hours before the scheduled cruise date.
Parking is available at Hopatcong State Park in the designated area shown on this map. DO NOT PARK in the area designated for boat trailer parking only.
A crew member will be stationed in the left corner of the parking lot, near the boat ramp, to direct you to the Floating Classroom.
Guests are encouraged to dress warmly, in layers, and wear sneakers. It is always chiller on the lake than it is on land. The cruises will run RAIN OR SHINE. The boat is covered to provide protection from light weather.
Guests are encouraged to use the restroom facilities at the park before boarding as there are none available on the Classroom.
Life jackets are available for all guests and are required for any guests 12 years of age and under.
Please note: There is no entrance fee to Hopatcong State Park for summer 2022.
