Belmont Lake State Park

Belmont Lake State Park spans 463 acres of land encompassing a spring-fed lake, multiple trails, playing fields, and recreational facilities for outdoor activities.

The land belonged to August Belmont's Thoroughbred horse farm until 1926 when it transformed into a state park, later becoming Long Island's state parks headquarters in 1935.

The park maintains four pavilions where local communities gather for seasonal celebrations, including the Great Jack-O-Lantern Sail and Holiday Tree Lighting events.

Visitors access boat rentals, including pedal boats, rowboats, and kayaks, from May through Columbus Day at the dedicated dock near the 42-acre lake.

The park features a network of trails connecting to Southards Pond and Argyle Lake, while Carll's Creek extends 4.2 miles south to the Great South Bay.
