Reviews
Beautiful park and lake, great for a camping trip, a day trip, or even a birthday party. Very family friendly and highly recommended.
Beautiful place for tent camping and swimming! Had to show proof of vaccines for dog, but staff were great. Saw a watersnake and lots of deer!
Brand new hot shower facilities have been added! Lots of new buildings and renovations to the areas. This is an amazing place to camp, swim, play on the beach, playground, hike, boat or cookout! Definitely call ahead to make sure they are open or to book camping and pavilions. During the week it's a very peaceful place to walk the trails and enjoy nature.
This place is beautiful and a very peaceful, quiet and clean park! My kids had a great time. There is a small playground close to the beach. There are trees near the beach if you want some shade and a few picnic tables. My mom camped here and said it was a great experience.
One of the quite and beauty place under the list of NY state park. "Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws" especially during Fall Color. Kids really had gr8 fun at beach. We were only 4-5 family in the state park and near by the beach area which gave us feeling like we had private beach booked. During Fall color drive was one of the best drive I had.
Great state park, a hidden gem. Especially good for families for day use activities. Bathrooms clean - 5 stars! Great activities for kids, like playgrounds, kayaking, swimming. Not heavy on hiking trails, but we enjoyed walking along access road (no vehicles) to other end of the lake. Fair warning - expect no cell service (at least no Verizon)
This is one of those parks that are truly just a hidden jewel. It's nearby to Grafton but closer if you live in the east greenbush / nassau area.
Great pond and beach, fun trails and beautiful campsites. Really friendly and helpful park staff and a convenient selection of goods at the front office.
Awesome hike to the waterfall! The first trail on the right side of the dirt rd entering the park. It's a 30 minutes walk on a nice path, followed by 5 minutes a blue trail on the right side in the woods, then on the left a pretty waterfall. The blue trail goes further along the creek but we walked back after a stop at the waterfall.
