This campground has a small swimming beach, and the campsites were a little crowded. We didn’t find it to be one of the better campgrounds, but the nearby John Boyd Thacher State Park is a must see. http://www.nysparks.com/parks/99/details.aspx http://nysparks.com/parks/128/
This park was closed when we were here, so unfortunately our pictures are from outside the fence. This is a very large town park, with a lot in the area. There is a boat launch, swimming beach, drive-in restaurant, sports fields, and a couple different pavilions and picnic areas. One section is on Collins Lake, […]
You apparently need a permit to visit this beach if you are not a resident, which we did not know. We got kicked out after taking a few pictures. To get a permit you have to go to the Town Clerk’s Office, which is only open Monday through Friday, from 9am-4pm. The address below is […]
This is a nice town beach, with a skate park,tennis courts, playground, and swimming area. The water had a lot of algae and mud, but we aren’t sure if it always like that. The beach was closed when we were there, but there was a lifeguard present, so maybe there was something going on with the […]
There is a medium to large sand beach, with a large swim area. The water is tannic water with a sandy bottom. This is a nice beach, though they only had one swim area open even though it was a Sunday. This seems to be a fairly popular area, so the water was crowded with […]
This is a small to medium sized beach and swim area, and seems to be popular with families. There are very tall trees to picnic under, a playground, and restroom facilities.

This beach is EXTREMELY crowded on weekends. It feels more like a New York City beach in that way. Large swimming area and sand beach, shaded picnic area, large facilities building. http://www.nysparks.com/parks/53/details.aspx
This is a small town beach that seems to be very popular with families with children. There is a medium sized swimming area on the Hudson, with a sand beach and surrounding picnic areas. There seems to be a kayaking launch as well. You can see that upstream there is a rope swing on the […]
This park doesn’t seem to be as popular as the nearby Million Dollar Beach, so in some ways it is nicer as it seems like a more low key place to bring young children. The swimming area is a straight away along the shore so you could do some laps, but there is less of […]
This is a cute little town beach on Lake George, with tennis courts and a picnic area. There is a dock and a nice walkway with a gazebo. This park is small, but has the same pretty sand beach and turquoise water you’ll find on Lake George. http://www.boltonchamber.com/bolton-landing-parks.asp
