Vacation destination for over 200 years!
Greenwood Lake is Orange County, New York’s largest body of fresh water, 50 miles northwest of New York City. Greenwood Lake is nine miles long, fed by springs and brooks, with half in New York and half in New Jersey.
The Dutch came from New Amsterdam around 1689 and settled in the Dutch Hollow area of Greenwood Lake. Greenwood Lake was a popular place for vacationers from the New York City area in the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s. Vacationers came to Greenwood Lake by way of the Erie Railroad and horse and buggy. Once they got to Greenwood Lake, steamboats met them at Sterling Forest. Today people visit Greenwood Lake to go boating, swimming, jet & water skiing, fishing, ice-skating, ice-fishing, and snow sledding.
