Raccoon Island is an island on Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey, comprising about 50 acres (20 ha) with mixed private homes and lots. It is part of Jefferson Township, in Morris County, New Jersey. Seasonal (April–October), limited scheduled ferry service provides access to the island by car or light truck. With this limited accessibility, few people live year-round on the island, but during the summer months many families from the surrounding area temporarily "relocate" and commute to their work from there. The homes range from small cottages that were built from the 1880s onwards to more contemporary and remodeled homes with sizable lots. There is no public land on the island.

Seasonal (April–October), limited scheduled ferry service provides access to the island by car or light truck.

The homes range from small cottages that were built from the 1880s onwards to more contemporary and remodeled homes with sizable lots. There is no public land on the island. In the late 19th century, paddle-wheel boats used to provide transportation links from mainland railway stations to resort hotels and campsites on the island. It was a summer tourist destination for New York City residents (45 miles (72 km) east) before expanded auto and boat transportation made more exotic travel feasible. (en)
