Looking for Lake Hopatcong restaurants that stay open after the boats come out of the water? You are in the right place. The lake is busiest in summer, but plenty of spots on the Morris County side keep serving all winter. We stuck to the Jefferson, Mount Arlington and Roxbury shores and added a winter status note for every restaurant so you know what to expect.
