Lake and pond beaches in New York

These 75 beaches in New York are on a lake, pond or reservoir rather than the sea. No tide, no surf, and usually a shorter drive. Each one shows how far you park and how far you walk to the water.

Good to know

Do lake beaches have tides?

No. Tide tables apply to the sea, so these pages do not show one. Water temperature is modelled from the air temperature and the season where there is no buoy nearby.

Distances are measured on OpenStreetMap; what visitors report is counted, never guessed. This list was last rebuilt on 24 September 2026. How we know this.
