Besides getting the feeling that you're about to be slaughtered as a sacrifice to the Gods, this is a very beautiful place to visit. There's a lot of nature, lots of birds and plants. Reaching the top feels like climbing Mountain Everest 😂😂. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature.

A pretty nice dam to visit. Quite a few stairs to hike before you get to the top, but once there... the views are amazing. There is a huge lawn that's great for a picnic. During some holidays, there is a fireworks display and a public band.

The reservoir is home to a wide variety of fish species, including Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Large Mouth Bass, and Small Mouth Bass and others with some impressive lunkers to be found. I've seen Osprey, Red Tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles, Turkeys and Whitetail Deer. It’s perfect for both beginners and experienced anglers. The peaceful surroundings and beautiful views enhance the fishing experience, whether you're casting from the shore or fishing from a boat. Be aware that it can get windy, so if you're using a rowboat bring life jackets and plan accordingly. Just be sure to have your NY State Fishing License and DEP Pass before you go. It’s a must-visit for anglers there is great structure on...

Worth a visit if you're within the vicinity (and especially if you're from NYC as this is one of the city's sources of water).

Start at the Kensico Dam Plaza (a separate listing here on Google Maps), where you can park and then hike to the top of the wall. The hike is along a steep terrain but should not be too daunting for the average person, especially if hiking slowly.
