The Lake Hopatcong Block Party has become one of the most highly anticipated lakeside events in the region, drawing thousands to Hopatcong State Park. It's the perfect opportunity to connect with local businesses, enjoy delicious food and lively entertainment, and take part in free, family-friendly activities. To make your arrival as smooth as possible, here are some tips for parking and arriving to the event.
We suggest utilizing our free shuttle service from one of the six offsite parking locations listed below (see map for details). Shuttles will be running all day to ensure you can enjoy the event without the hassle of parking.
Onsite parking is available at Hopatcong State Park for a $10 donation per vehicle, space permitting.
There are 36 handicap-accessible parking spots available at Hopatcong State Park, with the same $10 donation required. If all onsite parking (including accessible spaces) is full, we also provide handicap-accessible shuttles from the offsite lots. These shuttles will be clearly marked.
While dogs are not allowed on the shuttles, we’ve got you covered with a “barking lot” at Full Life Christian Fellowship Church, located near the intersection of Brooklyn-Stanhope Road and Lakeside Blvd. The lot is within walking distance to the park (just be sure to cross at the light!). You’re also welcome to park onsite with your pet, as long as space is available.

A huge thank you to our parking and shuttle partners for making the Block Party easily accessible to all. We also want to express our gratitude to the Roxbury Police Department, New Jersey State Park Police, and all the volunteers who help with traffic control and safety. We can’t wait to see you at the Block Party—it's sure to be an amazing event!
