Lake Information

The Hopatcong Hawks are paddling in the Lake Hopatcong Foundation Lake Loop and seek your assistance in reaching 25 team members and raising $3,000 to support the community.

The bike course will go clockwise around the lake and consist of approximately 20 miles of rolling terrain. This is a great course for experienced cyclists, weekend warriors or riders who want to stretch their legs and enjoy the ride.

By Lake Hopatcong Foundation Jess Murphy - This year, the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection will be moving forward with its five-year, 60-inch drawdown procedure to allow access to waterfront structures for inspection and maintenance.

JUST IN!! – We have a generous donor who will match dollar for dollar up to $5,000 for all donations made. That means that LHF will get double the amount you raise prior to the event!! PLEASE HELP LHF by asking your family and friends to support your participation or make up a team and have everyone fundraise together!
