Winding Hills Park

Winding Hills Park is a nature park in Montgomery featuring forests, wetlands, meadows, and Diamond Lake, which covers 40 acres. The grounds contain diverse landscape types that together create a varied habitat for wildlife and plants.

The park was established to preserve green spaces in the Hudson Valley and represented a major step in regional land conservation. Its creation helped protect the natural landscapes from further development.

Schools and community groups use the grounds regularly for environmental education, where visitors can learn about local ecosystems and nature. These programs help connect people to the forests and waters that define the area.

The park offers 51 seasonal camping sites with picnic tables and fire rings, plus two comfort stations with electricity and showers. Visitors will find the park most accessible during warmer months when all facilities are fully operational.

The lake offers year-round water recreation options, from summer fishing to winter ice skating and snowmobile trails. This range of seasonal activities keeps the park active throughout the year rather than just during warm months.
