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, […]

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 […]

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. […]

Town of Washington Town Park, Milbrook

This is a little confusing because it is Washington’s town park, but is actually in Milbrook or Mabbettesville.  It is quite large for a town park, with two waterslides and multiple swim areas, a floating dock, concession stand, restrooms, and lifeguard. Upper pool seems to have paddle boats. No dogs allowed. http://www.towrecreation.com/park-information.html

Rudd Pond, Taconic State Park

Part of Taconic State Park, Rudd Pond has a small swimming area with boat rental available.  The swimming area is good for children, but isn’t always open, so call ahead.  There is camping available, and dogs are allowed in some parts of the campground. http://nysparks.com/parks/141/history.asp#sthash.Ud5oEzhA.dpuf
