Grafton Lakes State Park

The recreational area contains multiple lakes, including Long Pond, Second Pond, and Third Pond, spread across 2,500 acres of woodland territory.

The park land was established in the 1970s to safeguard the natural environment of multiple water bodies while creating public recreational spaces.

Environmental education programs throughout the year teach visitors about local ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and conservation methods in the Rensselaer County region.

The park maintains designated areas for swimming, fishing, boating, and hiking during summer, plus trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter.

Five distinct lakes within the park boundaries create an interconnected water system that supports diverse fish populations and aquatic ecosystems.
