Cabins and campsites in wooded hilly terrain make this state park a cozy getaway. Its terrain in the foothills of the Catskills provides excellent exploration opportunities. Interconnecting trails for hikers run around the lake and three ponds for picturesque backdrops.
The quietest trails are around Ice Pond, Spring Pond and Twin Fawns in the north end. This area of the park is a real treat all year round. In the winter, its relatively gentle inclines and descents make it great for cross-county skiing. Come by in the fall for tremendous autumnal sights as the foliage begins to turn!
Most of the park's camping areas are close to Gilbert Lake in the south. If you're the sports type, this section offers plenty of ways to test your skills. Volleyball nets and a disc golf course sit just to the southeast of the lake.

Lined by the wooded, fauna-echoed foothills of the Catskills, Gilbert Lake Cabin Colony is inundated by not only the park’s namesake lake, but three smaller fishing ponds as well. And, with well-working showers and plumbing systems, you’ll be able to wash-off after a long day out on any of those said bodies of freshwater. Read more...
