Yes

Wow I wanted to take my grandbaby up there to see them

If you are a NJ resident and your vehicle has NJ plate Price is $10. Other Statesn $20.

Yes they do. We went there for boat racing. Really nice place

No you can bring in food and barbecue. They have barbecue grills.

Walking during the winter still good?

Yes, they are

You have to be early to get in the park. There is a huge line of cars before the park even opens. Around 6:00, the line is empty, and by 7:00, the line is very long. So the best way to find parking is to get there very early, often an hour before it opens.

Great

You are allowed to bring dogs in the park, as long you follow the rules and if your dog is not aggressive. There are a lot of dogs in the park.

Yeah you can definitely go in the water

There is no camping or camp grounds at Hopatcong State Park. I worked there last summer. There is picnicing areas with grills and picnic tables. There is swimming when lifeguards are present. There is a dock for you to bring your own boats and go out on the lake (they do not rent out water vessels). There is a concession stand in the summer. If you want Camping grounds, I suggest Stephens State Park. If you want to stay in the local area.

Free for this year and as of 8/14 it is closed to swimming but you can launch kayaks vessels paddle boards etc

Negative

Here’s what I was told . One of the reasons is there is a lifeguard shortage. (Because Nj won’t pay these college kids a fair salary) And since most people go there to swim they close gates when a certain number of people are in the water because you can’t have 400 people swimming and only 1 lifeguard on duty. So it’s not about the size of the park. It’s about money, the state won’t pay a competitive salary to lifeguards so they go get a lifeguard job at a small municipal pool for $5 more an H

Yes it is.

Yes it is

Yes it's public

The Park is open but the beach area is closed bathroom is still under construction

No it's way to small walk paths only

If you're taking about the Hopatcong State park the answer is no. They the close the gate at 6pm.

Yes, you need the fishing license.

Great picnic area

Yes there is.

Usually like all parks sunrise to sunset

I think the swimming is from 8:30 or 9 in the morning until 5 or 6 in the evening. The hours should be on their website

Water closed today fresh water

11 am is ok.

It's a big lake. It seems to be quite clean all the time, but looks can be deceiving and they can't treat all that water to guarantee that it's perfectly clean. I know a few weeks ago it was closed because of a high level of bacteria in the water, so they do test it. Hope that helps

I believe so

Is the lake open?

People blast music everywhere. Im sure its fine. As far as cabins, I'd check out Airbnb

8 am

Fireworks had taken place last Friday Sorry.

Try get there before 6am

$10 for each car and $6 for nj senior citizens.

Memorial day official opening with a fee to get in. I assume swimming is allowed every day.

Yes on a leash
