Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Delta Lake State Park adventure.
Swim, fish, and hike around a secluded lake in the middle of New York.
Delta Lake is located on a peninsula near aptly named Westernville. The lake formed in 1908 when engineers dammed up a river to supply water for a barge canal. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the summer and fishing year-round.
The swimming portion of the lake is isolated from the rest of the reservoir. This makes for a safer swimming environment.
Rent a boat from a nearby marina for a day out on the water. Cast your line out for trout, pike, bullhead, bass, and perch. Take your haul back to your campground for dinner. Hikers navigate the wooded and relatively flat trails. In winter, these turn into cross country ski trails. You can also ice fish in winter.
The large campground has 101 sites for tents and RVs. A few tent campsites sit within feet of the water. Gentle waves hitting the shore rock you to sleep. Cooing frogs or insects hum their nightly tunes to sing a lullaby for your slumber.
