Kayaker on White Pond

This property was previously a New York City reservoir and was transferred to State ownership. An old stone sluiceway runs from the dam toward the middle of the pond. Bass and sunfish often gather along the stones. The pond itself can become weedy in summer and large stones are submerged in piles along the roadside edge.

Facilities include a large parking lot, boat access, and a disabled accessible fishing pier. Car-top boats and boats with electric motors are allowed on this pond. Fishing is permitted, but swimming is not encouraged. There are no other facilities at White Pond.

Hunting is prohibited.
Do not litter. Carry out what you carry in. Burying of refuse is prohibited.
