Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately one half of Jefferson Township is located along the shores of Lake Hopatcong. Incorporated in 1804, Jefferson Township extends east and west from the northern part of the lake, where there are the intricate connections at Hurd Brook, Lake Shawnee, and Lake Winona. In 1826, the dam for the Morris Canal became operational and what was originally Great Pond and Little Pond became Lake Hopatcong, the largest freshwater lake in New Jersey. By the mid-1800s, after the canal was in full swing, the ice and mining industries had begun to flourish. At Nolan's Point, iron ore was loaded into canal boats and icehouses were in operation. Consequently, Nolan's Point became a major hub of Jefferson. Not long afterward, camps, bungalow colonies, hotels, and small seasonal businesses sprang up and the summer community flourished. Theatrical people arrived, and their generosity helped to build the community. These and many other reflections on the history of the lakeside communities of Woodport, Lake Shawnee, Lake Winona, Nolan's Point, Lake Forest, and Prospect Point are gathered in Jefferson Township on Lake Hopatcong.

Download or read book Greetings from Bertrand Island Amusement Park written by Martin Kane and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age before jets, air-conditioning, and superhighways, Lake Hopatcong was a major northeast resort. It lay within easy reach of large cities to the east, and its size and setting at over nine hundred feet above sea level made it a perfect holiday destination. From the late nineteenth century through World War II, more than forty lake hotels and rooming houses welcomed thousands of vacationers each year. After the war, the lake continued to be a popular spot for renting a bungalow or buying a summer cottage. But for many, Lake Hopatcong will always be remembered as the home of Bertrand Island Park. Although Bertrand Island Park closed in 1983, there is no place in northwestern New Jersey that is more fondly remembered. For some seventy years, the park thrilled youngsters and adults alike. The park opened during the peak of Lake Hopatcong's resort years, and its popularity continued as the lake evolved from a hotel resort to a community of second homes and finally into a year-round locale. Generations of school groups, church outings, company picnics, and residents from throughout the region delighted in the wooden roller coaster, the magical carousel, and the scores of other rides and games.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within easy reach of large cities to the east, Lake Hopatcong - situated at over 900 feet above sea level - was a perfect vacation destination. From the 1880s through the 1930s, the Lake welcomed thousands of people each year, including leaders of government, industry, and entertainment. Lower daytime temperatures and cool evenings made the region a welcome respite from the urban centers to the east. As the area developed as a resort, the borough of Brooklyn was founded on Lake Hopatcong's west shore in the waning years of the nineteenth century. Soon renamed the Borough of Hopatcong, it experienced rapid growth and development. In this exciting new volume, you are invited to take a look back at Hopatcong's first century - to experience the eary years, visit the grand hotels, meet the rich and famous who passed through, and relive the night life that caused thousands to flock here each summer.
Download or read book Lake Hopatcong Speaks Out written by Dorothy Sabarese and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lake Hopatcong Foundation (LHF), a nonprofit organization established in 2012, is dedicated to protecting the lake environment and enhancing the lake experience. The foundation brings together public and private resources to encourage a culture of sustainability and stewardship on and around New Jersey's largest lake for current and future generations. Lake Hopatcong Speaks Out reflects the foundation's vision of fostering a vibrant and healthy Lake Hopatcong and its surrounding community. Education is a pillar of the LHF's mission. This book was compiled over several years as the organization educated hundreds of local students about the lake's watershed during its field trip programs in Hopatcong State Park and on Study Hull, our "floating classroom." During the summer of 2019, the lessons from those trips were made all the more meaningful as Lake Hopatcong faced an unprecedented harmful algal bloom, primarily the result of storm- water runoff into the lake. This book was nearing completion as the community grappled with the environmental crisis, highlighting the urgency to share the story. We hope you find the lessons compelling. Every reader is invited to spread the word about good stewardship of this watershed and all others. Please visit www.lakehopatcongfoundation.org to learn more about "lake-friendly living." And please keep doing YOUR part to keep our lake beautiful and healthy!
