The Lake Hopatcong Foundation Floating Classroom embarks on a series of public learning cruises each summer. Excursions depart from Hopatcong State Park in Landing, NJ.
On board, guests enjoy a hands-on adventure, learning all about Lake Hopatcong, while taking part in experiments such as water clarity testing with Secchi disks, and collecting and studying plankton from lake water samples.
Activities are geared toward guests who are at least 10 years old, but younger guests are welcome to come aboard and join the cruise.
Our forty-foot, covered catamaran pontoon boat, with seating for 40 passengers plus crew, enhances our environmental school field trip program and provides opportunities for hands-on learning to the general public, serving as an interactive learning center on Lake Hopatcong.
