About Lake Taghkanic State Park

A 1,569-acre park sits along the town line between Gallatin and Taghkanic, spanning both sides of that boundary. The lake at its center gives the park its name and its acreage places it among the larger state parks in the area. It borders the Taconic State Parkway, giving it a direct link to that route.

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