This is a beautiful set of falls, but this location can be very dangerous, and deaths have occurred here. There is an upper, middle, and lower falls, and people swim in the middle and lower ones. The water is emerald green and very clear, which is enticing, but the water near the falls can become […]
This is an exceptional town beach, with large swimming areas, two diving platforms, playground, huge grass lawn, sand beach, and clear water. Concessions and boating are available nearby. The park is situated on a hill sloping down to the water, and has expansive views of the lake. They may allow dogs in the grass area, […]
This is such a cool park. It is a former mansion that has been converted into a state park, and we loved exploring it. There are the ruins of an old theater that was on the estate, and you can walk on the remnants of a stage where Gene Kelly once danced. The roped swimming […]
This location is on Park St., across the road from the North Hudson Town Office. There are tennis courts and playground, but the “swimming” area is more of wading pool and the water is only 2 feet at the deepest. There is a medium sized sand beach to lay out on, but only small children […]
This is a large beach with very a small swimming area. The waterfront section is spacious and has beautiful views, so it is sort of ridiculous to have such a small roped section. The water is very clear with a pebble bottom, and they seem to have kayak and canoes rentals. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24463.html
We aren’t sure where you’re supposed to park, so we parked in the lot behind The Galley restaurant, and then walked a short path over to the town beach which you can see it from the parking lot. They rent kayaks and powers boats from the marina right there as well. The marina is very […]
This is a teeny town beach, and there is no parking by it, but you seem to be able to park uphill near the church. This beach is only open Wednesday through Sunday from 11-5. It is a small beach on beautiful lake, with a small to medium swim area. There are very pretty views. […]
This is a town beach with a small swimming area, and sand beach. There are some grass areas for picnicking, and benches to sit and watch the water. This would be a good place for kids. They have concessions, and a little plastic play set for young children. http://www.loonyaboutadirondacks.com/loonlakebeach.html
This location is a little hard to find as it isn’t well marked, but it is at the end of Beach Road in the town of Minerva. Exceptionally picturesque town beach, with a lot of amenities including tennis courts, two playgrounds, camping, concessions, and a boat launch. There is a medium to large sized swim […]
This is a HUGE town beach in Newcomb, just off of Route 28N. This beach is awesome, they have really done an amazing job with providing the public access to this local resource. There are multiple docks and swimming areas spread out over a beautiful lake- this is how all public access areas should be. […]
