Greenwood-Lake is a nine mile long glacial lake located in the Bearfort Mountains that straddles both New York and New Jersey. There is also a village named Greenwood Lake (New York) that is situated at the north end of lake. The South Shore Marina is located at the southern end of the lake. Less than 60 minutes from New York City, this scenic recreational oasis provides a peaceful escape from the pressures of city life. Greenwood Lake is surrounded by the 15,000-acre Sterling Forest State Park, and just across the New York border is New Jerseys Ringwood State Park, home to the New Jersey Botanical Garden. Youll find several marinas and boat docks at Greenwood Lake and activities such as boating, fishing, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking. Sailboat and pontoon boat rentals are also available at the lake. In addition, Greenwood Lake is just minutes to great golf courses, skiing and snowboarding. Hiking is another popular sport in the area, along the Appalachian Trail to Bare Rock or Fitzgerald Falls. The Greenwood Lake region is home to many festivals and special events throughout the year, such as the Breezy Point Inn Winter Carnival, the East Arm Rowing Regatta, the Greenwood Lake Fall Festival and an Annual Boat Parade. The popular New York Renaissance Faire is located east of the lake on Route 17A and runs from the beginning of August until mid-September. In October, the area hosts the Forest of Fear.
