Unknown or UnofficialThis location is on Park St., across the road from the North Hudson Town Office. There are tennis courts and playground, but the “swimming” area is more of wading pool and the water is only 2 feet at the deepest. Â There is a medium sized sand beach to lay out on, but only small children […]
This is a large beach with very a small swimming area.  The waterfront section is spacious and has beautiful views, so it is sort of ridiculous to have such a small roped section.  The water is very clear with a pebble bottom, and they seem to have kayak and canoes rentals. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24463.html
We aren’t sure where you’re supposed to park, so we parked in the lot behind The Galley restaurant, and then walked a short path over to the town beach which you can see it from the parking lot. They rent kayaks and powers boats from the marina right there as well. The marina is very […]
This is a teeny town beach, and there is no parking by it, but you seem to be able to park uphill near the church. Â This beach is only open Wednesday through Sunday from 11-5. Â It is a small beach on beautiful lake, with a small to medium swim area. Â There are very pretty views. […]
This is a town beach with a small swimming area, and sand beach. Â There are some grass areas for picnicking, and benches to sit and watch the water. Â This would be a good place for kids.

This location is easy to find as it is just at the end of Benton road. Go past the cemetery, and where the road turns to dirt there will be a handwritten sign saying, “Blue Mountain” ahead. This is a gorgeous swimming hole, that has a very special feeling about it. Â We have heard that […]
This was closed when we stopped by, and we had to take pictures through a fence.  This is a small beach with a medium swimming area, directly on the road across the street from the  Fire Department in Brant Lake.  The parking situation was unclear, but it looked like you could park in the school […]
This is a teeny tiny town beach, across from the Fire Department in Blue Mountain Lake. Â Very small “swim” area, and they have a partial sand/grass beach. They do have a bathroom and changing area across the road. This location is close to the Adirondack Museum, which is very popular, and a fun place to […]
