About Grafton Lakes State Park

Long Pond and several other lakes anchor this 2,545-acre park in the Town of Grafton, giving the property its name. The land sits north of the hamlet of Grafton along NY Route 2, northeast of Albany. Within its bounds is the Shaver Pond Nature Center, a facility tied to one of the park's named ponds.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
