Netcong Borough

Nestled on the shores of Lake Musconetcong, Netcong Borough is a small municipality in western Morris County, less than one square mile in size. The Borough is one of just 35 designated Transit Villages in the State, served by two NJ Transit rail lines connecting to Hackettstown and Hoboken, as well as Lakeland Bus lines to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. The entire municipality is located in the Planning Area of the Highlands. Netcong petitioned the Highlands Council for designation of the entire municipality as a Highlands Center. The petition was approved at the April 2025 Highlands Council meeting.
