We were running late and got here after closing, so we had to take pictures from around the fence. There is a dock and swimming area, and a nice playground. There also seems to be a dog park nearby. http://www.lakewoodny.com/recreation.php
Follow Hannum road to the end, and you’ll arrive in a parking lot where you’ll see two paths to the left hand side-one leading uphill, and one leading down. Take the one leading down. This is a wide and clearly defined trail, but it appears to be prone to wash outs, and is fairly steep. […]
The swimming area was closed during our visit, but seemed to be fairly nice, though a little small. The buoyed area is about the size of a pool, and has a grass beach. Overall this park has updated and clean facilities, and pretty picnic areas. http://nysparks.com/parks/109/details.aspx
The beach was closed when we visited, and it looked like it might have been that way for awhile, so it is worth calling ahead. They do list themselves as having a swimming beach, so we aren’t sure what the deal is. The water was a cloudy tan, and we didn’t see anyone swimming, though […]
This area was closed and surrounded by chain link when we got here, despite it being within the posted open hours-so you might want to call first. This is a small beach with volley ball, basketball courts, two swimming docks, and a small swim area. We couldn’t see very well from the outside. http://www.cassadaganewyork.org/cassadaga-beach.html
This beach is close to Zebro’s Restaurant, and just has a small parking area which is easy to miss. The sign says there is no lifeguard, and that by state law that means there is no swimming, but online people report swimming here… The beach is rather unremarkable, but a good place to picnic. http://www.tourchautauqua.com/Where-To-Play/Beaches/Barcelona-Harbor-Beach.aspx?mid=13438&c=25
The street signs are listed differently on Google maps, but this location is actually on Pine Street. You follow Pine St. from Warsaw St, and then the beach is next to the baseball field which is on N Serval St. There is a parking lot that runs alongside the beach. There is a large sand […]
We don’t know why this area isn’t shaded green on Google maps, but it is a huge state park beach, and one of our favorites. There is an updated pavilion where they hold events, and a tiki beach bar and restaurant in the main building. There are also cute concession stands on the beach itself, […]
This is a really pretty park that seems to be semi-abandoned…? There are signs saying not to swim when lifeguards aren’t present, but the lifeguard station looked shuttered. There is still public access though, and there are bathrooms, a playground, and sports fields. Call before coming if you want to find out about the beach. […]
This is a weird area because we believe it is a public town beach, but it is surrounded by a couple of bars/clubs. Apparently it is quite the party scene. Either way, there isn’t much parking, so you might have to eat at a restaurant just to use their parking lot. Our GPS is for […]
