Lake Hopatcong is the largest lake in New Jersey — 2,500 acres of open water tucked into the hills about an hour up I-80 from Manhattan. Wake Club New Jersey runs the summer on it, May through October, with four ways onto the water. Wakesurf & Wakeboard sessions run on MasterCraft wake boats with an instructor on board for coaching, boards, and vests — beginner-friendly enough that most first-timers stand up the same day, with room for up to 10 guests across two to six hours. The Pontoon Cruise is the social option: spacious, shaded, Bluetooth-equipped, built for tubing runs, swim stops, and the kind of group day that turns into a birthday or a bachelorette. Captain Your Own puts you behind the wheel of a small runabout after a quick dock lesson — no boating license required, up to 6 guests, hourly or half-day. And Kayak Rentals are there for the quieter version of a lake day, single or tandem, with sunrise and sunset launches if you want the water at its best. We also run a separate tubing program for summer camps Monday through Thursday — a different rhythm, same lake.
