Gateway to Hudson Valley

Just 50 miles from New York City lies the Village of Greenwood Lake. This glassine water body, made for pleasure, supports every water sport a visitor can think of – swimming, diving, fishing, water skiing, jet skiing, and boating by sail, canoe, kayak, paddle, motor, row, and skull. Greenwood Lake is not about political boundaries. It is a state of mind. Home of Orange County's largest fresh water lake, the Appalachian Trail; Mt. Peter skiing area; and easy access to nearby Sterling Forest's Renaissance Festival, Tuxedo Ridge, the Village of Warwick, and Mountain Creek Ski and Waterpark.
