About Mount Arlington
Mount Arlington is a small borough on the eastern shore of Lake Hopatcong with a storied resort past — the grand Breslin Hotel and the Mount Arlington Historic District (including actress Lotta Crabtree's 1886 summer cottage) recall its days as a lakeside getaway. Today it is a compact lake community with its own NJ Transit station, the Lee's County Park Marina, Memorial Park, and easy access to the lake and the Bertrand Island area.
