Readings come from USGS monitoring location 01455400, Lake Hopatcong at Landing NJ, 2.6 miles from the center of Lake Hopatcong. It reports gage height. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
The gauge is half the picture. The other half is what came out of the water: verified catches, the current record, and the anglers holding it.
