This 10-mile stretch of railroad played a pivotal role in two bygone industries. First, the tracks were built to transport iron ore to Newark. Later, harvested ice from the lake was transported on the tracks to massive store houses. When at this hole, look out on the street – our street was once the Ogden Mine Railroad bed.
Calling all thrill seekers! The Wildcat was the beacon for all seeking adventure on the Lake. The 80-foot-tall roller coaster was designed by the famous Herbert Schmeck. When it was taken down in 1983, the Wildcat was the oldest of it’s kind still standing.

Tourists visiting Lake Hopatcong needed a place to see, and a place to be seen! Many yacht clubs and associations sprang up around the lake, including the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club. Formed in 1905 the building stands in almost the same condition as it did in 1910 when it opened. Rumor is that the building was built from trees cut from Halsey Island across the water from our location.
The Lake Hopatcong Dam, built in 1827, is the most important structure on the lake. Today the dam continues to flow into the Musconetcong River eco-system. The dam held a very important role in the economic and natural history of the lake – including creating the Lake Hopatcong as we know it today.
