Outdoor Swimming in the Hudson Valley
June 3, 2012 7:21 PM Subscribe
[New York State Filter] Looking for suggestions on where to find great outdoor places to swim (easy rivers, lakes, swimming holes) in the Lower to Mid Hudson Valley (New York).
I enjoy being outside and moving around, but I’m not great shape so I’m looking for spots that relatively are easy to get to. I don’t mind breaking a sweat but I’m not looking to scale a mountainside.

Oh, damn! I know the answer to this!! But I CAN NOT remember the name....
Hopefully, someone else will pop in....
On the east side of the Hudson, a waterfall into a few great pools for dipping, a hiking trail from the east over peaks into a deep drop towards the waterfall, but wild blueberries upon the ridges. You can drive straight to the waterfall, and in fact, we hiked multiple times along the ridge until the drop, and then caught a ride back to our car via Rangers or others.
Mid-Hudson, for sure. I'll check out a map and see if I can come up with a name. About 2 to 3 hours from NYC. If I don't pop back in, I could not find it. Someone else will know:)

For a nice lake day I am a big fan of Lake Tagkanic State park
