Miss Lotta, formerly the Southern Belle, was originally located on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. She was named after the famous local Vaudevillian actress, Lotta Crabtree, whose summer cottage is a registered historic home located in Van Every Cove in Mount Arlington. Miss Lotta was transported from Smith Mountain Lake to Lake Hopatcong in the summer of 2013 by a wide-load transport flatbed and was carefully lifted by two large cranes into the lake at Lee’s Park Marina. After her arrival, she was fully restored, renovated, and expanded.

Today, Miss Lotta has become a local star around the lake. Lakeside residents enjoy spotting her and waving as she cruises by their lakefront homes. Visitors to Lake Hopatcong revel in her beautifully refurbished natural wood walls and large-scale windows overlooking picturesque views of Lake Hopatcong. Regardless of who is being asked, Miss Lotta has made a home for herself here on Lake Hopatcong.

All About Lake Musconetcong, NJ

In the early 1800’s, the Morris Canal and Banking Company was tasked with building a canal to help move freight across the New Jersey. In order to supply the Morris Canal with a reliable source of water, Lake Hopatcong, a natural glacial lake, was expanded and Lake Musconetcong was created. A side effect of the creation of the lakes and canals was a growing number of visitors coming to the beautiful Musconetcong River Valley for recreation. The trend continued after the canal outlived its usefulness and today Lake Musconetcong is a fantastic Skylands destination. Surrounded by Hopatcong State Park and the beautiful farmland of the Musconetcong River Valley, Lake Musconetcong offers acres of water to play on and respite from a hectic world.

Construction on the Morris Canal started in 1825 and by 1831 the first canal boats were making the trip. The 102 mile-long canal carried boats from Phillipsburg on the Delaware River to Jersey City, the Hudson River and on to New York Harbor. Connecting to the coal region of the Lehigh Valley, the Morris Canal was used to transport coal, iron and zinc, carrying more than 880,000 tons of freight in 1866 alone. The canal used a series of locks and inclined planes to move the freight over an elevation change of 1,674 feet and depended on a reliable source of water to maintain its four-to-five foot depth and power the cables that hoisted the canal boats up the inclined planes. The Morris Canal and Banking Company created Lake Musconetcong as a water supply reservoir for the canal system.

Cottages sprang up along the canal route and tourism became a growing industry. Unable to compete against the more efficient Morris and Essex Railroad, the Morris Canal was only used to transport freight for just under a century. Its tourism and recreation value, however, continues today. Visitors still flock to Lake Musconetcong and its larger sister, Lake Hopatcong, to fish, boat, swim, and play in the waters of the Musconetcong River.

Deeded to the State of New Jersey in 1924, Lake Musconetcong is part of the Hopatcong State Park. There is no hunting allowed in the state park, but there are plenty of places to picnic, along with playgrounds and ball fields. Boat rentals are available and visitors can explore Lake Musconetcong’s 329 acres by boat, canoe and kayak. Both Lake Hopatcong and Lake Musconetcong are stocked with brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. There are healthy populations of largemouth bass, catfish and American eel. In the winter, ice fishing enthusiasts can pull pickerel and perch from Lake Musconetcong’s frozen waters.

The Musconetcong River makes up both the inflow and outflow of Lake Musconetcong. The 44 mile-long river passes through the beautiful farming valleys of the Garden State before joining the Delaware River. On its way, it flows through Stephens State Park. Just a few miles from Lake Musconetcong, Stephens State Park includes a section of the Morris Canal. Waterloo Village is a reconstruction of a 400 year-old Lenape Native American village as well as an early 19th-century restored port along the canal. The port includes a working grist and saw mill, a blacksmith shop, and a general store. Trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding cross the park and in the winter some of the trails are open for cross-country skiing. There is also a site for rock climbing and hunting is allowed in season. Overnight accommodations include a campground in the park. The Allamuchy State Park is connected to Stephens State Park and is just to its north. The park includes over 8,600 acres of forest criss crossed with miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding.

Lake Musconetcong is just an hour away from New York City and everything it has to offer. Nearby, the Village of Stanhope has restaurants, antique shops and accommodations ranging from historic bed and breakfasts to vacation rentals including some on the lakefront. For anyone wishing to extend their stay, there is also real estate available for sale.

With the history of the Morris Canal, the beautiful waters of the Musconetcong River and the charming shops and restaurants of Stanhope, Lake Musconetcong is a great Skylands destination. Add in its proximity to New York City, and there is something to please everyone.

• Prices and Dates

Moscow : Welcome on board! Check in begins at 14:00 (2.00 PM), but you may board earlier or later depending on you arrival in Moscow. If you order a transfer, you will be met at the airport or train station by one of our drivers and taken by comfortable car to the river port where you will board your cruise ship (transfer is optional).

Over the next few days, you will get the chance to explore Moscow and learn about its riveting history. You will be taken on a city tour and see Moscow's most interesting sights and learn about this amazing city's past and present. You will also have a chance to do some light shopping and there will be time to relax aboard the ship in the evenings. One of the highlights of your time in Moscow is a visit to  Red Square  and the  Kremlin . You will also visit one of the Kremlin's famous cathedrals. The Kremlin as we know it today was rebuilt as a stone structure during the beginning of the 14th century but the actual site has been inhabited and used as a fortified city wall for centuries before this period. The Kremlin is truly a fascinating structure - at the same time it is an ancient tower, the city's former military fortification, a palace and the workplace of the Russian President. The Kremlin is the center of Russia's political life and State power and has been home to Tsars, General Secretaries of the Soviet Union and Russian Presidents.

Moscow  is Russia's political and financial capital as well as a major world class cultural center. The city includes many must see attractions from the Kremlin and Red Square to the Assumption Cathedral. Moscow is the largest city in Europe. It is unique in that it blends the ancient with the modern. See medieval structures among modern office buildings, walk down crooked old city streets opening up to wide, busy boulevards. It is a fantastic city and truly a site that shouldn't be missed.

Uglich : You will be taken on a walking city tour with visit to the  Kremlin , the  Church of St. Demitrius on the Blood  and the  Transfiguration cathedral .

Uglich  was founded in 1148 as a small princedom bordering on Muscovy and is one of the most beloved towns in Old Russia. The view of the town as you approach it from the Volga River is breathtaking with the Cathedral of the Resurrection and St. John's Church rising on the horizon. The history of the town is fascinating; At the end of the 16th century, Maria Nagaya, seventh wife of Ivan the Terrible, lived in honorary exile at the Kremlin in Uglich. It was here in her garden that the 10 year old Prince Dmitry of the Rurik Dynasty, heir to the Russian throne was murdered by Boris Godunov who wanted to seize power for himself. On the spot of his death, the Church of St. Demitrius of the Blood was built and still stands today. The death of Prince Dmitri brought on the start of the Time of Troubles, a dynastic and political crises and one of the most tumultuous periods in Russian history which ended 15 years later after the election of a new Tsar, Mikhail Romanov (the first Tsar of the Romanov Dynasty). Inside the Kremlin the oldest building in Uglich, the Palace of Tsarevich Dmitry also stands. During your time in Uglich you will learn more about the town's past and walk along the paths of Russian history.

Arrival in the ancient village of  Goritsy . Tour of the  St. Cyril on the White Lake Monastery  and the  Museum of Icons .

Goritsy  is a tiny settlement 7 kilometers from the St. Cyril on the White Lake Monastery. The remains of the Nunnery of the Resurrection that sits on the banks of the Sheksna River can be visited and is within a quarter of a mile of where the ship stops. Goritsy is definitely a site to see for anyone with an interest in Russian history. St. Cyril on the White Lake was founded in 1397 by Kirill Belosersky on the shore of Lake Siverskoye. The monastery had wide trade in the 15th to 17th centuries and was used as a fortress to protect Russia's nobility during the Times of Troubles.

After the tour you will return to your ship and set sail in the direction of St. Petersburg along the Volga Baltic Canal. The Volga Baltic Canal is a series of canals and rivers that connect the Volga river to the Baltic Sea.

You'll cruise along Europe's second largest lake,  Lake Onega  and arrive on the island of  Kizhi . Here you will visit a fascinating open-air museum containing numerous examples of elaborate Russian, wooden architecture.

Kizhi Island : Via the Volga Baltic Canal, our cruise takes us to the tiny island of Kizhi, located at the northern end of Lake Onega. The island is renowned for its open-air  Museum of Architecture , which is assembled from over 80 monuments of wooden architecture from various areas of the country and restored to form a glimpse of the past. The most impressive site on the island is the  Church of the Transfiguration or Preobrazhenskaya  (the church of twenty-two wooden domes). This masterpiece of architecture, featuring five tiers of 22 domes, was built in 1714 without the use of a single nail, only an axe and pine trees. The church magically changes color as the day grows old, it is certainly one of the most interesting things you will see during your time in Russia.

A stop in the village of  Mandrogui . Enjoy walking around this traditional Russian village in its beautiful setting and spend a day of rest, relaxation and fun. We will have a fantastic barbeque picnic on the banks of the river featuring one of Russia's favorite specialties - shashlik (meat shish kebab prepared on an outdoor fire). You will love it!

Mandrogui  is really more of a living museum than a live-in village. It features a collection of old wooden houses and is geared towards showing visitors what a traditional Russian village resembled in the past. One of the features here is the Vodka Museum, which contains thousands of different brands and types of Russia's favorite pastime.

Arrival in the imperial capital of Russia -  St. Petersburg . Your time in St. Petersburg will begin with a  Panoramic City Tour . This tour is the best way to get acquainted with all of the city's major highlights. Our professional guide will take you down  Nevsky Prospect , St. Petersburg's most famous and vibrant thoroughfare. There you will see some of the city's most interesting architectural monuments including the Kazan Cathedral (exterior) and the Winter Palace. You will see the  Peter and Paul Fortress  (interior) - a symbol of St. Petersburg and also the oldest building in the city.

One of the highlights of your entire cruise will be a visit to the  Hermitage , Russia's premier museum containing one of the largest art collections in the world. The museum consists of five historical buildings including the Winter Palace - the residence of the Russian Tsars. The museum contains over 3 million pieces of art with dates ranging from high antiquity to the present day. Among the Hermitage's treasures are artworks by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, Rubens and many others.

On the last day of your cruise you will say goodbye to Russia, your ship's crew and the many new friends we are sure you will have met during your time with us. We are sure that your memories of the trip will last a lifetime and we look forward to welcoming you to Russia sometime in the future. Our driver will meet you at the ship and take you to the airport to see you off (transfer is optional).

St. Petersburg  is Russia's second largest and second most important city - the Northern capital of the country, Russia's cultural center, and considered the world's 'Northern Venice' due to its extensive system of canals and islands. Walk along Nevsky Prospect and experience the grandeur of pre-revolutionary imperial Russia. Pass palaces from the past and gaze at the famous embankment of the Neva River with its numerous bridges and striking architecture. St. Petersburg is also home to Russia's largest and busiest port and with its many world class theaters and museums has a very high level of cultural life.

When it comes to food, it is not very easy to make me happy, but everything we ordered in this restaurant was excellent. Service could of been little better, but I talk about food for next couple days. My compliments to the chefs 👍👍

Just coming home from incredibly disappointing dinner. Waiter was incredibly attentive but very apologetic. Appetizer of lobster roll was excellent, garlic shrimp was ok. Dinner was Stone Water hamburger and I had Scallop entree and ordered asparagus on the side. What can I say, complete disaster. Everything was cold, scallops were so salty , and hamburger overcooked. Only told the waiter about the asparagus being overcooked because we felt so bad for him, heard him apologizing to many tables. He comped the asparagus, which was very kind. He was very good and shouldn’t be penalized because of the terrible food. Ordered dessert hoping for redemption. I had the creme brûlée, which was very good and pumpkin martini. Pumpkin martini never came until we got the bill and was horrible. Waiter asked about martini and told him it was not great, he wanted to have it remade for us but by then, we were done. Hoping they get it together because it is a beautiful place. Not coming back until I know that the money that we have no problem spending, is going to be worth it.

Stopped here for appetizers on a summer weeknight. We sat at the bar. Despite being fairly empty (with the kitchen closing at 9 pm) the bar area was very noisy with the AC system going. Huge ventilation pipes criss cross the high ceiling there. The bar seems to be more of a sports bars as there are large screen TVs. In contrast the dining areas present a mixed menu of lower priced options and fine dining entrees with considerably higher price tags. Acoustics are poor all around due to the high ceilings and lack of sound absorbing construction materials - the ventilation system compounds the noise. Bar service was great - only two other couples at the bar - and the bar tender was wonderfully attentive and friendly. But what is this place - sports bar, fine dining restaurant, burger place? It's really all three but no separation between them. For fine dining I like a quieter atmosphere where I can have a conversation.

Very good meal from start to finish. A group of 6 of us went for dinner and drinks. Our appetizers were fried calamari, and fried shishito peppers. The fried shishito peppers were such a great appetizer. They were not deep fried , but what seemed like sautéed in olive oil and then served on a plate with a side of aioli. They were delicious. For main course I ordered the duck two ways. With fried spinach. Again , very good and would definitely order it next time. For my drink , I ordered a Moscow mule type drink , but with Capt Morgan and pumpkin beer and ginger beer combined. It was delicious. The only negative I would have is that the kitchen missed our extra sides of truffle fries and roasted potatoes and we had to ask about them again, and they came 15 minutes after the meal. But things happen so I am not really holding it against them.
