Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Lake Minnewaska is located within the Minnewaska State Park Preserve in New York’s Ulster County. The lake is among three bodies of water in the area, surrounded by waterfalls, hardwood forests, and the rocky, rugged terrain of the Shawangunk Mountain ridge.
Visitors enjoy hiking, cycling and technical rock climbing and bouldering on land, as well as scuba diving, boating and swimming in the crystal clear waters. A minimal tent-only campground provides restrooms with showers, a pavilion and cooking area. Bird conservation areas protect the important migratory corridor for owls, warblers and peregrine falcons. Naturalists often lead guided programming on weekends.
