On my way home from a lake in penn last year, I was going to splash my 12' inflatable. My wife and I drove around the lake (in truck) and headed home. It is a VERY small lake. By the time you got on plane in a 35, you would have to turn around. 😜 I would be bored there for a day, let alone a week. Just my 02

I use to live and boat on the lake. I had a 22 Talon and could cross the largest part of the lake at speed in about 45 seconds. It’s an absolute mess on the weekends and there are several speed and wake restrictions that you research before going. I’d suggest a weekday. The state park at the southern tip of the lake has a decent launch and you don’t have to deal with a long stretch of no wake at the northern end but I’m sure someone with better recent knowledge will chime in. BTW Lake Hopatcong was the original home of Sutphen Powerboats before Richie Sr moved to Florida. Richie Jr also built there for several years. Good luck.
