LAKE HOPATCONG WEED HARVESTING
PROGRAM 2016: Please be advised that the State Park Service (SPS) will
commence phase one of the Lake Hopatcong aquatic weed harvesting program
on/about May 27, 2016. Phase one, which is expected to
last 3 to 4 weeks, will include River Styx and Crescent Cove, and areas from
Bertrand Island south towards Hopatcong State Park and Landing areas.
Harvest areas for additional phases will be assessed as phase one nears
completion, with determining factors to include severity of weed growth,
weather, personnel and equipment availability. It should be noted that
designated harvest locations on the lake are subject to change due to weed
growth, personnel and equipment availability, weather, and other unforeseen
factors. The public and all interested parties may contact Daniel Bello of
the State Park Service, at
973-398-1555,
with questions and concerns regarding the Program.
