Rogers Rock State Park

This is a nice state campground with a lot of camping sites.  They have a sandy beach on Lake George, with a nice view of the mountains.  They seem to have kayak rentals, and there is a boat launch. http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/rogers-rock-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=515 http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24493.html

Port Henry Champ Park

From Main street, take Dock Street and then a  right on Beach Road.  This park was sort of dingy but had a nice walkway to the lake.  This could be a nice beach if cleaned up a little, though we did see something on their website about a clean up effort following damage from Hurricane […]

Bulwagga Park

From Route 22, you’ll see a large sign on right side of road for Bulwagga Park, and you take Bulwagga Drive to the end where the park is.  You’ll go past a weird abandoned building, past a fenced municipal building, and stop at the fee building in front of all the RVs.  They didn’t charge […]

South Lake Beach

This entry is for one of two beaches within the same campground. This is a really lovely area, with pretty campsites and very clean facilities. The South Beach entrance is to the right after passing the entrance booth, and the North Beach is to the left.  South Beach is larger with a bigger swimming area, […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Wilcox Memorial County Park

This is a sprawling town park with rolling hills and forest trails, and multiple activities to enjoy.   The park has mini golf, paddle boats, swimming, camping, and other sports available.  We saw a lot of people enjoying the walking trails, and the park is very pretty and spacious.  The swimming area is medium sized, with […]

West Beach, Lake Taghkanic State Park

This is a popular area with a fun “beach party” sort of atmosphere.  There are lovely views of rolling hills, and a massive sand beach with lots of activities.  There is a large roped off swimming area, multiple lifeguard stations, sports area, paddle boats, restrooms, concessions, large parking lot, picnic area, camping.  No dogs allowed.
