Nine miles in length and covered by 2,500 acres of freshwater, Lake Hopatcong is the focal point of the park. Hopatcong State Park is at the southwest end of the lake and is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and swimming.

Lake Hopatcong was originally created as part of the Morris Canal, a 100-mile waterway that ran from Newark to Phillipsburg and was the chief means of transporting coal, iron and zinc across New Jersey in the 1860s. The lake was the Canal’s major source of water. In 1866, over 880,000 tons of freight was transported on the canal.

National Park In Morris County

Morristown National Historical Park

Cold and starving, 10,000 soldiers camped at Jockey Hollow and endured the worst winter of the Revolutionary War.  While George Washington, quartered at the Ford Mansion, struggled to hold his army and the war together. Morristown National Historical Park tells the story of how America won its independence not in battle but by surviving to continue until final victory.

Morristown National Historical Park is made up of 4 units: The Ford Mansion and Museum, Jockey Hollow, The New Jersey Brigade/Cross Estate Gardens, and Fort Nonsense.

(Daily 9-5, closed on Thanksgiving, December 25 and January 1)

The Ford Mansion is shown only by guided tours which leave from the museum at 11 AM, 1 and 3 PM.
