Lake Hopatcong was originally two adjacent lakes that were the headwaters of the Musconetcong River. A dam was built in 1750 to provide power for a local iron forge, and the water level increased by approximately 5 feet to combine the two lakes. The lake today resulted from the construction of another dam om 1827.

No major tributaries feed the Lake. The inflow comes from a system of brooks and streams from the mountain area surrounding the lake.
