Bridge to Liffy Island Lake Hopatcong
Looking for a fun way to get outside after Thanksgiving? Grab your walking shoes and explore one of Lake Hopatcong's hidden gems!
Join a guided hike to Liffy Island in Jefferson Township. This approximately 2.9-mile adventure starts at Prospect Point Preserve and follows portions of the Lake Hopatcong Trail and James Leach Boardwalk Trail. Along the way, you'll enjoy wooded paths, beautiful lake views, and the peaceful wetlands surrounding the island.
The hike takes you up to the top of Liffy Island before heading back to the starting point. It's considered easy to moderate, so expect a little exercise along with some great scenery.
Where to Meet
Prospect Point Preserve
30 Florida Avenue, Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849
Meet near the basketball courts on the south side of the preserve. Parking is limited, so sharing a ride is a good idea. A portable restroom is available at the trailhead.
