The Highland Lakes consist of a large number of manmade lakes and large ponds, only a few of which are larger than 100 acres in size. Most of the lakes are privately owned and accessible only to members; many of these communities have private beaches and parks, and some offer private guest rentals that allow visitors to enjoy the lakes and their amenities. However, the 265-acre Lake Wawayanda is open to the general public; it's regularly stocked with salmon and trout, and it also offers the opportunity to swim, canoe, boat, and hike the 60 miles of trails in Wawayanda State Park.
