Very small beach, the capacity is only 25. There is a small swimming area, sand beach and picnic area. The water is tannic with some organic debris. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24473.html http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/lake-durant/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=653
This location is easy to find as it is just at the end of Benton road. Go past the cemetery, and where the road turns to dirt there will be a handwritten sign saying, “Blue Mountain” ahead. This is a gorgeous swimming hole, that has a very special feeling about it. We have heard that […]
This was closed when we stopped by, and we had to take pictures through a fence. This is a small beach with a medium swimming area, directly on the road across the street from the Fire Department in Brant Lake. The parking situation was unclear, but it looked like you could park in the school […]
This is a teeny tiny town beach, across from the Fire Department in Blue Mountain Lake. Very small “swim” area, and they have a partial sand/grass beach. They do have a bathroom and changing area across the road. This location is close to the Adirondack Museum, which is very popular, and a fun place to […]
This is a town beach, just off of Route 9N, and the parking area and beach are visible from the road. There is a large swimming area with a sand beach, and clear tannic water. This beach has some lovely views of a teeny tiny island, named Ivy Island. There is another park just over […]
We found this spot by chance, on our way to visit Bear Slide. This is a steep little jumping spot on the Hudson with a rope swing and board ladder going up the tree. Tree root steps lead down to the rope swing. We couldn’t judge the quality of the water or the depth, or […]
This beach is at the end of Pierpont Road in the town of Lake Luzerne. This is a nice town beach with a medium swimming area and sand beach. We didn’t see a restroom, we think the building in the photo is just the lifeguard station. http://www.lakegeorge.com/business/luzerne-heights-public-beach-8747/ http://www.townoflakeluzerne.com
This is a little town beach with a fishing dock, picnic area, small sand beach, and small swimming area. There was a lot of trash when we were there, but that could have just been that day. It is in the town of Cornith, and we didn’t see restrooms, but there might be public ones […]
Coming from the south on River Road-2.8 miles from where the pavement ends the road will split, and you want to stay to the left. You’ll come to a large-ish parking lot (maybe holds 15 cars), stay to the left again and park in lot 6. There is a sign for lot 6 but it […]
The parking area for Shanty brook is on Route 8, 8.9 miles north from the junction of Route 8 and Route 30. It is a fairly large parking lot, but it can be hard to spot because there is tall grass blocking it from view. The lot is shaped like a half circle and has […]
