Unknown or UnofficialThis park has a large swimming area, though it seemed to be quite shallow for quite a ways out. Â There is a campground and all facilities, and there are also concessions available. http://www.nysparks.com/parks/102/details.aspx
This is a small town beach with a playground, and it would be nice for small children.  There is a volleyball net and picnic area, and lots of open space. http://townconstantia.org/parks.shtml
Sylvan Beach is next to an amusement park, and has a very “Coney Island” or “Jersey Shore” feel.  There is a large sand beach with a medium sized swim area, but they didn’t seem to care that people were swimming outside the ropes.  It is a strange beach in that there were lots of boats […]
This was one of the best town parks that we visited, and their playground was definitely the best. Â It has outdoor instruments, a rope climbing set, saucer swings, bouncy pavement-it is awesome. There is a large sand beach and large swimming area-there is even a separate dog beach. Â All facilities were clean and well maintained; […]
This is a large town park with tennis, sports fields, and multiple pavilions. Â The park is free, but there is a swim fee for non-residents. Â The swimming area is large, though the water looks a little muddy. Â Very nice park though. http://town.trenton.ny.us/content/Parks/View/2

This location is very popular on weekends, and there is a large swimming area with multiple lifeguards. Â They have a wide sand beach and all facilities. Interestingly, this is a man-made lake which submerged the village of Delta when it was created in the early 1900s. Â Most of the buildings were removed before the flooding, […]
Drive down Crandall Falls Road for about 1.3 miles, and you’ll notice that the road starts getting a little rough. Â There is a small parking area for anglers, and from here there is an obvious trail that leads to the river. Â At one point the trail splits, but doubles back on itself so it doesn’t […]
To find this location keep your eye out for a bridge on Route 12D, and the path to the fall is between the bridge and Domser Road. Â There is a short, steep dirt road leading down along the stream, just before the guardrail. Â You can park here if your car can handle the incline, and […]
