Located 40 miles north of the city, FDR State Park stretches for approximately 2 square kilometers. Despite its medium size, this park is sufficiently Some of the quietest places in the park is deep in the hiking trails outside picnic areas.)

Summer Activities

During the summer months, the park is full of travelers from lower New York, New York in particular. Sometimes the park can feel crowded, but always seems to have plenty of room for everyone. Visit during the months outside on weekdays and can be your best bet to fully appreciate the tranquility of the park.

ACTIVITIES AUTUMN

The park is also popular in the fall due to the various activities held there. Each year in early October, the Support Connection Breast and Ovarian Cancer Walk will be conducted with the participation of people of all ages, sometimes including the actress Glenn Close. Usually within a week Support Connection Walk, Eye guidance for the Blind Walk is also held in FDR to raise funds for training guide dogs. A great event other in the fall is the Native American Festival (Powwow), which includes various activities to raise awareness of Native American culture.

Winter activities

While the park can not be the most exciting place to go in the winter, there are still some things to do. If the lake is frozen enough, is the perfect place to practice ice skating and ice fishing. (Note: Skate and fish at your own risk.) Existing trails are ideal for skiing and the mountains are ideal for sledding.

Pool

Franklin D. Roosevelt Park Pool State is enormous to say the least. The pool is open 10 am-5: 30pm Monday through Friday and from 10-6: 30pm at weekends and the cost is $ 2 per person. The section swimming pool is divided into 8 sections, each supervised by a lifeguard to ensure the safety of customers. (Note: Most of the time only 4 sections are open unless the number of customers requires more than open.)

The pool depth ranges from 1 foot 5 1 / 2 feet (excluding diving section). There is also a back lane open until noon. There are also 2 sections of diving, each with a small trampoline and large. There is many rules of participation as a springboard to prevent injuries (do not flip, back jumps, double jumps, etc) the only thing you can really do is jumping and diving. During weekends, the pool may reach full capacity (3,500 users), but during the first days of the week, the usual number ranges 100-1000. This may seem like much, but the size of the pool and pool terrace combined is more than enough to occupy everyone.

The pool has a concession stand, which tends to be rather expensive so I recommend bringing your own food. There are benches and lots of grass for customers to settle and enjoy the day.

Lake, boating and fishing

Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park also offers rowboat and pedal boat rentals for its Mohansic Lake. (Note: Swimming is not allowed.) If you prefer bring your own kayak, canoe or rowing boat, no boat launch, but a regional navigation permit is required. Fishing is also allowed, but a New York State fishing license is required freshwater.

There is a little water channel that is large enough for a boat rowing for running out of passes leading to Mohansic Lake Crom Pond. Only trees and wildlife can be seen from Crom Pond so if you're traveling for more difficult through the waterway, is a good place to go to get away from everything.

Hiking trails

If you are looking to walk the dog, go for a run, or just enjoy the day, many walking trails FDR allow several hours of exploration and relaxation. Trails are relatively flat, although some roads are more difficult for the experienced hiker. The trails range from easy trails to paved roads ground medium. Whatever the path ends, you're never too far from a familiar reference point or flag.

Food

After a dip in the pool or stroll the trails, many people are set to one of eight picnic areas. Since foods are cooked on the grill provided coal, picnic areas many playground, volleyball courts, football / baseball / softball and basketball occasionally. The grids are old at least so I recommend bring your own charcoal grill or an extra roll of aluminum foil.

There are two concession stands that are open during the summer months, although they tend to be rather expensive in comparison to bring their own food. Each picnic area has a complimentary bath installation it's fairly clean for a park. However, FDR State Park is a fun and inexpensive way to spend a day with family.
