About Miss Lotta

A Brief History

The idea for a dining and sightseeing vessel on Lake Hopatcong was Inspired by the many dinner and tour boats in Amsterdam, Miss Lotta—formerly the Southern Belle—had originally cruised on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. In 2013, she was brought to Lake Hopatcong for a complete renovation and renamed in honor of vaudeville actress Lotta Crabtree, whose historic summer cottage still stands on Van Every Cove in Mount Arlington.
