Moreau Lake State Park

Moreau Lake State Park is a recreation area in the Adirondack foothills with forests, rocky ridges, and a central lake featuring sandy beaches. The park has multiple camping areas, picnic tables, designated swimming zones, and trails for seasonal activities.

The lake formed during the last ice age when glacial movements carved deep depressions into the landscape. This geological process created the water basin and shaped the surrounding terrain.

The Nature Center offers year-round programs where visitors learn about local wildlife and environmental conservation. These educational activities help people understand and appreciate the natural surroundings.

The park offers camping with hot showers, picnic areas, and firewood sales year-round. Visitors should plan their visit based on the season, choosing between summer swimming or winter cross-country skiing.

The Big Bend Preserve section hosts over 100 bird species and is often overlooked by nature lovers. This area also features dedicated trails for horseback riding along the Hudson River banks.
