Pratt Rock Area

We found this location by chance, and it is just down the road from Pratt Rock, which is a rather unique tourist destination, that you can read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_Rock From the entrance to Pratt Rock, follow Route 23 towards Prattsville and in less than a mile you’ll go over a bridge, where you can […]

Bellayre Beach, Pine Hill Lake

There is a faded sign on Route 28 that is easy to miss, but this is a nice beach and well maintained.  The swimming area is small, but has with very pretty turquoise water.  There is a playground, and paddleboats available.  We don’t know if dogs are allowed in the grass areas, but they aren’t […]

Waneta Lake Falls

This is state land and a preserve for the lake area. Park in the lake access pull off. We were told that people don’t usually swim here. There is a waterfall downstream from the river that flows from the lake, though we aren’t sure if this is still part of the park. Park in lot […]

Russell Brook Falls

There is a rough road going up to a parking area off of Morton Hill Road.  This is remote state land with hiking trails, so ensure someone knows where you are going, because there isn’t a ranger station. From the parking lot, go to the wide path and take the immediate first right towards the […]

Roscoe Rest Area

This is a highway rest area with access to the Willowmec Creek.  This has been listed elsewhere as a place to swim, but we found it sort of unappealing.  To get here, take 17 East from Roscoe and get off at the rest area signed as a “Text Stop” around mile marker 313, and before […]

Corbett Falls

This site is listed elsewhere as a place to swim, be we are unsure if it is actually private property.  It is roadside, and there are laws about how much land people can own alongside the road, but we just don’t know.    We would advise that you ask a local or try to find […]

Beaverkill Campground

This is a really lovely camping area with picnic tables, a covered bridge, and very clean bathrooms and showers. This site is primarily used for fishing though, so please be respectful of fisherman and don’t swim if people are using the area.  We were told people swim here, and there are no signs prohibiting it, […]

Vernooy Falls

THIS AREA HAS A LARGE RATTLESNAKE POPULATION- please hike carefully, and avoid putting your hands in between rocks.  Snakes like to sun themselves on flat rocks and trails, so remain alert.  This location is remote and does not have a ranger station. We parked at the very beginning of the trailhead, but the road to […]

Peekamoose Blue Hole

  UPDATE 5/14/21- The DEC has instituted a permit system for Blue Hole they are required seven days a week May 15th through Sept. 15, please see the new regulations here before planning your visit. UPDATE- We have been contacted about the amount of litter being left at Blue Hole, and this area is in […]

Esopus Creek, Sleepy Hollow Campground

This is sort of an unusual entry as it is a private campground.  The reason we’ve included it is that it is along the bank of the Esopus, has a small swimming area, and is close to tubing rentals like Town Tinker Tube Rentals. The swimming area is near the bridge at the entrance of […]
