Complete the challenge and be entered into a drawing to win tickets on one of our Eco-Cruises aboard the Floating Classroom. You complete the challenge by checking-in using the App at the designated check-in locations.
This 2-mile out-and-back hike is generally considered an easy route, which takes an average of 90 min to complete. This is a very popular area for biking, birding, and hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
Access to Liffy Island is from (1) The parking area at Prospect Point Park (Florida Ave just off of Brady Rd) and (2) from the shoulder parking on Prospect Point Rd. Both parking areas provide access via the Lake Hopatcong Trail (LHT) Spur. The Prospect Park (Florida Ave) access route is longer than that from Prospect Point Rd, but the trail surface is wider and stroller-friendly. While shorter (only 0.8 mile out-and-back), the LHT Spur (Orange Trail) from Prospect Point Rd has an ungroomed trail surface that is much rockier (not stroller-friendly).
