Access to Liffy Island is from (1) The parking area at Prospect Park (Florida Ave just off of Brady Rd) and (2) from the shoulder parking on Prospect Point Rd. Both parking areas provide access via the Lake Hopatcong Trail (LHT) Spur. The Prospect Park (Florida Ave) access route is longer than that from Prospect Point Rd, but the trail surface is wider and stroller-friendly. While shorter (only 0.8 mile out-and-back), the LHT Spur from Prospect Point Rd has an ungroomed trail surface that is much rockier (not stroller-friendly). Access to the main LHT (heading toward Mt Inlet and Bear Pond) is also available from Prospect Point Rd
