BETHEL- Residents and visitors looking to kick off the summer season are now able to head back to Lake Superior State Park, which officially opened Memorial Day Weekend for swimming, picnicking, and boating activities.
The popular Sullivan County park will operate on weekends only through the end of June, with hours from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Daily operations will begin on June 27 and continue through September 7. Weekend hours during the summer season will remain 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., while weekday hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., weather permitting.
Admission to the park is $5 per person. Children younger than three are admitted free, along with veterans who present a valid ID through Sullivan County’s Return the F.A.V.O.R. program.
The park also participates in New York State’s Golden Park Program, allowing senior citizens age 62 and older free weekday admission, excluding weekends and holidays.
Season passes are available for both residents and non-residents. Sullivan County residents may purchase passes for $20, while county residents age 62 and older can obtain passes for $15 with proof of age and residency. Non-resident passes cost $40.
In addition to swimming, visitors can rent a variety of boats during beach hours, including pedal boats, row boats, kayaks, and canoes. Rentals cost $10 per hour, with a $20 security deposit required for each boat.
Several picnic pavilions are also available for gatherings throughout the season. Those interested in pavilion rentals can contact the Sullivan County Parks, Recreation & Beautification office for details.
Lake Superior State Park is operated by Sullivan County through a cooperative agreement with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.
