Wintergreen Park — Attraction in Town of Canajoharie

Wintergreen Park is a very special place because you can drive down the steep and winding lane to the bottom of the wooded ravine where you'll find that the Canajoharie Creek has carved deep into the layers of shale to create a wide gorge with towering walls and rippling waters that flow north across the flat bedrock layers gradually downward toward the village of Canajoharie with a small waterfall or two here and there. Once in the gorge, you can park near a picnic table and enjoy a meal in the heart of nature, while watching the rippling waters flow uninterruptedly along the stream. It's really a heavenly, peaceful, relaxing place to unwind, forget about your troubles, and just enjoy nature...

Lovely place to visit. You can't even tell that this lake is there from the parking lot. We drove in an RV and although it is a small parking lot at a dead end street, there is enough space to get in and get out. To get to the lake, walk down about 2 minutes on the paved road and you'll see it on the right side. The water was perfect temperature. We saw many small, grey fish swimming and nibbling on our feet. There were cray fish too. They looked like baby lobsters. I love that this is such a spacious lake. Plenty of people to enjoy it but it did not feel overcrowded. The holes are dee enough for kids to jump in and not hit the bottom. I would love to go...

It’s pretty enough but I feel like it’s a bit run-down. I get that it’s village owned and funds are probably limited, but it needs some updating in regards to maps, etc. Don’t waste your time hiking to the overlook (unless you just enjoy hiking through native forest, which I do!). It is a nice walk out but the view isn’t much once you get there. Let’s just say it’s overgrown and very underwhelming. The drive down into the gorge is nice, just be sure you have good brakes. This is definitely the better spot...
