Hemlock Lake captivates. Exploring and enjoying this conserved lake and the surrounding NYS forests is incredibly rejuvenating.

We’re celebrating the conservation successes of Hemlock Lake with two special events in 2026!

An early summer paddle will precede a fall guided hike. Participants will spend time in the ecosystems which supported the last mating pair of bald eagles when New York’s groundbreaking hacking program began.

Picnicking, forest bathing and gratitude nature journaling will enhance our experiences.
