Green Lakes State Park Is an Upstate NY Hidden Gem
"A seasonal, casual snack shack situated at the north end of the lake serving quick, family-friendly options—pizza, burgers, chicken tenders and ice cream—ideal for beachgoers and visitors seeking grab-and-go fare." - Rachel Chang

Great time with the family, bay on one side splash park on the other... peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommended... you'll need passes though to get in!

Good family beach. Small so you can see where your kids are at all times and has nice playground and spray area. There's also a gazebo, bbq area, concession stand and entertainment all summer with a fireworks show at the end of the season.

Was there to sit back and relax. I had no issues sit by the bay and enjoy the water view and quite time. There is no life guard there so be careful.

Unfortunately it is a private beach so not everyone can go though you can go on a guest pass they offer many amenities such as weekend movies and live music
