Traveler advice
Ways to save
Swimming holes
This is a link to all NY swimming holes. There are a few nearby but I will say the Tannersville listing is very crowded. They have also enacted towing of any vehicles parked illegally with a one night impound. I recommend going to North/South Beach or Lake Taghkanic instead.
