Good for skinny dipping and other fun things! Most acidic lake in New York but completely safe.

Beautiful Picnic Spot on Lake Minnewaska

It’s got good access to Lake Minnewaska (driving), staff was nice and polite. But I thought the sites were on the smaller side and no fire is allowed.

Good

If you are looking for a place where you can get out and explore the outdoors through some quality hiking, camping, and climbing look no further; this is the spot.

We went in September and the color of the leaves on the trees were stunning. There are lots of trails and places to climb nearby. We went to Sams point Overlook for a 6 mile hike and I highly recommend it. Both the campsite and hike trail were extremely clean, staff was friendly, and they were continuing to update the paths so you don’t get misguided.
