BOAT ON LAKE HOPATCONG
circa 1958
Lake Hopatcong, the largest freshwater lake in New Jersey, has been a beloved getaway for generations. Once a key stop along historic canals and railways, by the mid-20th century it had become a vibrant summer destination, drawing families from all over the region.
This 1958 photograph captures the essence of those golden years — a family cruising across the lake in an outboard boat, smiles on their faces and the sun dancing on the water. It’s a snapshot of simpler times, when weekends meant fresh air, good company, and a bit of adventure on the lake.
