Minnewaska Lake Beach — Attraction in Town of Rochester

Absolutely beautiful lake, there a small designated swimming area. $10 fee to enter the park however no fee to enter lake. There's plenty of parking, There's restroom on premises aswell. There are lifeguards on duty and no diving in strictly enforced. There's plenty of spots to sit down and enjoy the amazing scenery. I reccomend visiting the lake portion of the park 1st than drive up to the parking lot for the awosting falls, the drive is about 3 minutes, the walk can be long also there's no walking path just the road so don't reccomend walking from one area to another. Definitely recommend visiting this beautiful park plenty of hiking trails for a nice stroll...

A very great place for retreat! Theres hiking and theres a lot to explore. Sitting alone on top of the rock looking at the lake was very relaxing.

There is parking and restrooms. The walk to the beach from the parking was very breif. Sunset was beautiful here! Lots of trees and their leaves have fallen for the season. Few flowers were blooming as well.

If younplan to go swimming, there might be a designated place, but i only see no swimming signs. There was a big lawn with few tables right by parking lot, but there is no picnic in this area. Cooking, camp fires, open fires are not allowed.

Highly...

The trail wasn’t hard, a lot of people are around you. If you will go to the main parking, be ready to pay $10.00. Parking busy, watch where people actually going, because one minute it’s a lot of them around and one minute later they disappear. On left will be a falls on the right will be a lake. Both places very nice. The view from the top on the lake wonderful, but swimming spot very small and limited. Very crowded, no grill there, but you can find a bathroom. Nice experience, I...
