Thank you to our supporters and friends for all you have helped us accomplish over the past year

One of the real joys of the Holiday Season is this opportunity to say thank you to our supporters and friends for all you have helped us accomplish over the past year.  Without you we wouldn’t have been able to:

Lake Hopatcong #GivingTuesday

Today is Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of giving that encourages people to come together to support the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live. 

The refilling of Lake Hopatcong officially starts today, and it’s going to be a race with nature to see if we can recover 60 inches of water by spring.

While you shop on Amazon this Holiday Season use Smile.Amazon for the benefit of your community and our lake.

By Bill Woolley | LHF: If you’ve ever seen a photo of an eagle, high in a tree or soaring through the sky above Lake Hopatcong, it was likely taken by Bob Behrent.

As 2018 comes to a close, we hope it will be the perfect opportunity to include the Lake Hopatcong Foundation in your year-end giving.

Every 5 years, the State of New Jersey draws down Lake Hopatcong by 60 inches to allow property owners to repair docks and seawalls.

We are always humbled by the amazing show of support the LHF receives on Giving Tuesday. Thank you so much to all who chose to give to our lake and lake community on this day of giving.

The Lake Hopatcong Community Cleanup held on November 3rd is being coordinated by the Lake Hopatcong Foundation in partnership with the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. During the cleanup, hundreds of volunteers will access the lake from more than 40 lakefront locations. The cleanup is held in conjunction with the 60-inch lake drawdown held every five years.
