Synopsis

Protect Lake Hopatcong as a public park and healthful retreat for everyone. This plea explains why keeping the lake open and welcoming benefits the entire state.

• Learn about water rights, ownership, and the legal questions surrounding the Morris Canal.


• Explore why converting the lake for municipal water supply could harm the region’s economy and scenery.
