Weed Harvesters Are In The Water

HOPATCONG - The weed harvesting program on Lake Hopatcong has begun. Veteran harvester Curt Mulch launched one of two weed harvesters from the beach at Hopatcong State Park Thursday morning churning along the shores near Silver Spring and concentrating on areas south of Hopatcong State Park. A second harvester was in the water later in the day and went north past Brady Bridge. The harvesters are expected to be in the water until the drawdown in late September.
