Water was cool and refreshing but there was a lot of weeds floating around and over 50 geese, not to mention goose poop all over the place, we had watch our steps for that
A local favorite. A great spot for camping, picnicking, hiking, swimming, , or doing an array of other outdoors activities. Perhaps the best Chemung County Park, the lake is beautiful and a good fishing spot. The woods are beautiful and old, with big trees. Kayaking the lake is very fun. Many picnic tables are available. It is cheap to enter, and well worth it. Many species mill around the park, and I caught a cool picture of a Bronze Jumping Spider.
We are camping here for a week. The facilities are great. 50 amp, 30 amp and 20 amp electrical connections at each site. Water close by (seasonal) station to fill water tank at bathhouse and laundry building. Dump station on the main road to campsites.
Very family friendly place. If you are bringing a pet, make sure you bring your rabies vaccine record.
There is a nice beach and picnic area as well. They also have good hiking trails.
We've been here many times, and it's always a great choice. The beach is beautiful, the water is kept clean, they have bathroom access not far from the beach, many trails, a playground and so much more.
