Glacial Formed Lakes

With 10 miles of hiking trails and an 18 hole gold course on site one can get plenty of exercise. This park is made up of 2 lakes formed by glaciers Round Lake and Green Lake. They are considered meromictic lakes meaning the water from the top doesn't mix with the bottom of the lake water. Many scientist come to examine Round Lake, which is off limits for all activites as not to disturb the natural process of the lake. Green Lake however has camping, picnicing, rowboat rentals ball fields etc to make your stay enjoyable. The park is just outside of Syracuse NY to the east and is very clean.
