About this product

Product Information

In an age before jets, air-conditioning, and superhighways, Lake Hopatcong was a major northeast resort. It lay within easy reach of large cities to the east, and its size and setting at over nine hundred feet above sea level made it a perfect holiday destination. From the late nineteenth century through World War II, more than forty lake hotels and rooming houses welcomed thousands of vacationers each year. After the war, the lake continued to be a popular spot for renting a bungalow or buying a summer cottage. But for many, Lake Hopatcong will always be remembered as the home of Bertrand Island Park.Although Bertrand Island Park closed in 1983, there is no place in northwestern New Jersey that is more fondly remembered. For some seventy years, the park thrilled youngsters and adults alike. The park opened during the peak of Lake Hopatcong's resort years, and its popularity continued as the lake evolved from a hotel resort to a community of second homes and finally into a year-round locale. Generations of school groups, church outings, company picnics, and residents from throughout the region delighted in the wooden roller coaster, the magical carousel, and the scores of other rides and games.

  • Brought back memories of Bertrand Island fun as a child and teen.

    I lived in New Jersey from 1945 (born) to 2003. When I was about 10 my parents took me and my sister and brother (both younger) to Bertrand. We went on the rides and had a great time. As we got older we would go about once a week during the summer nights to play Skee Ball and the other games. I always rode the carousel to try and get the brass ring. I bought this book to bring back those great memories and it did that very well. We lived about 15 miles away from Lake Hopatcong. Learning about how BI was developed and seeing all the photos is wonderful. The authors got it all correct. For anyone who spent time at Bertrand Island I would recommend getting this book just for the memories it brings back. Bertrand is no longer and if I remember correctly now has homes in its place.
