The 197-acre Dryden Lake Multiple Use Area (MUA) surrounds the scenic 104-acre Dryden Lake. A DEC boat launch, electric motors only, provides access to the lake.
Additionally, the Town of Dryden has a use and occupancy agreement with DEC that allowed the development and maintenance of two pavilions, a fishing pier, playground, picnic tables, benches, barbeque grills, two composting restrooms, and the Jim Schug Trail as part of the MUA.
