Jefferson Township

Jefferson Township, the county's largest by area, encompasses multiple lake communities including Lake Hopatcong. Residents enjoy boating, fishing, and hiking across state parks and campgrounds. Housing ranges from lakefront cottages and condos to modern suburban subdivisions. Community festivals, summer concerts, and holiday parades foster local pride. Local businesses support daily needs without leaving town. Access to major highways keeps regional commuting manageable.

Schools

Jefferson Township Public Schools feature AP courses, technology integration, and strong support for athletics and music programs (GreatSchools).
