Our Beaches & Swimming Holes guide maps the swimming options across the Park — village beaches with lifeguards, granite ledges with depth, the back-road ponds locals don't post about.
The 250th Independence Day, a Saturday on the calendar, fireworks over every lake, hometown parades in every hamlet — and a region-by-region atlas of every show, parade, and lakefront celebration across the Park.
The Hudson Gorge out of Indian Lake — the Whitewater Capital of New York — the Class V Moose River in spring, the family-friendly Sacandaga, and the dam-release schedule that keeps the rivers running from April through October.
Every swimmable body of water in the Park — public beaches, state campground beaches, swimming holes, waterfalls, and the small ponds nobody writes about. From Million Dollar Beach to Moffitt.
