Just 50 miles from New York City lies the Village of Greenwood Lake. This glassine water body, made for pleasure, supports every water sport a visitor can think of – swimming, diving, fishing, water skiing, jet skiing, and boating by sail, canoe, kayak, paddle, motor, row, and skull. Greenwood Lake is not about political boundaries. It is a state of mind. Home of Orange County's largest fresh water lake, the Appalachian Trail; Mt. Peter skiing area; and easy access to nearby Sterling Forest's Renaissance Festival, Tuxedo Ridge, the Village of Warwick, and Mountain Creek Ski and Waterpark.

"We never expected Greenwood Lake to be so captivating. Our first trip to your magnificent Village was so extraordinary, you can be sure it will not be our last."
