ABOUT LWCA

Lake Winona was created by the Arthur D. Crane Company in the late 1940’s and sales of homes and lots began in 1950. Arthur D. Crane also built the communities of Lake Shawnee, Lake Forest, and Lake Mohawk. Lake Winona was advertised as a wonderful vacation spot within proximity of New York City and its surrounding metropolitan areas and for less than $7,000.00 you could own a beautifully secluded home with wonderful views. Unimproved lots of land were available for the mere starting sum of $350.00.

Through the years, Lake Winona, much like most of the Lake Hopatcong Communities, has evolved from vacation bungalows into full time abodes. One constant, however, is the natural element and the raw beauty of the area. Lake Winona rests in a valley, and is filled with clean flowing water by means of a man-made earthen dam.

Today, Lake Winona remains an attractive place to live with a wonderful sense of community spirit. The Lake Winona Civic Association has made its mission statement to ensure the community assets are, to the best of our ability & resources, maintained and brought to their full potential of usage for our fellow community members. Community assets are located at 49 Winona Trail, Lake Hopatcong, NJ, and include a community clubhouse (which is also available for private event rental), an updated full basketball court, a playground, horseshoe pits, fishing and boating (non-petrol), and a brand new beach with a designated swim area and floating dock.

The Lake Winona Civic Association is 100% volunteer run by Lake Winona residents. In Lake Winona, you will be greeted by a deep-rooted passion for the community, and pride in the efforts that make Lake Winona a wonderful place to live. Welcome – and we look forward to meeting you!
