I am used to swimming in the ocean and I have not had great experiences swimming in lakes or ponds. This was great! Sandy beach, gentle waves and as warm as a bathtub. They also have lots of shade from the trees and everyone really spreads out so you have your own little paradise. The view of the mountains over the water was spectacular. I would recommend bringing a float and parking in the lot ($8 per day).

There is definitely a mismatch between the navigation of the GPS and physical signage for this attraction. Perhaps, the locals want to keep this State Park as a hidden gem??? In the summer, July, the parking lot fills quickly. Overflow parking in a nearby field is available. Admission costs $4.00 per adult. Memberships are available. People come here mainly to swim and enjoy the sandy beach that they call the dunes. If you’ve been to Sleeping Beard Dunes in Michigan or the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, this is not like those areas.It’s really just a small beach. Bathrooms and shower houses are available. What shocked me the most was how the majority of the beachgoers were unmasked and NOT practicing the recommended six feet of social distancing. If you live under a rock and don’t know what’s going on in the world, you would not know there is a pandemic by surveying the behaviors of the visitors.I opted to hike on the “trail”, which is really a service road. According to a sign, cable has been run through here. There are lots of bugs here, and portions of the trail are muddy. Prepare accordingly.

this was in 2016 but nothing has changed. I wanted to be married by a body of water. since i could not afford Maine, we went to DAR. The pavilion is BEAUTIFUL. loved the actual bathrooms not porta pottys. and the pavilion had power so we were able to plug in our laptop and play music. you pay 100 bucks to have the pavilion all to your self. all you have to do is pay per person to get them into the park. They have BBQs to use which we did, they were very clean and cooked our dinner beautifully. Great views of the lake and NY. Kids loved the access to the water. even some family stayed and camped after the wedding. Highly recommend
