Willow Lake is an experience in itself.  With over 30 mowed acres and some 70  
acres of woods, there is a lot to explore!   Hiking is easy, and the views are
exceptional.  The woods always offer unique specimens of plants, moss, lichen and
other unusual vegetation.  Birds are plentiful, with early mornings and evenings
yielding views of wild turkeys or deer.   

Benches are situated around the lake, so an afternoon of reading is quite pleasant
Lawn games, croquet, bocci, horseshoes, and volleyball are available for your use.
Fishing and swimming in the Lake are a delight for all ages. There are many fish
and to ensure this remains into the future, we require all fishing to be "catch and
release". A rowboat and paddleboat  are available for guest use, and give you, yet
another view of very special things.

Should you want to venture out, we are situated centrally to many area attractions.  
Summer favorites include the West Point Sunday evening concerts on Trophy
Point, a day at Storm King Art Center (open late spring through late fall), or a day
at the new Dia Museum (just 10 minutes drive).The Innisfree Gardens in Millbrook
is a quiet place to explore.

If you are traveling from outside the area, we are located an easy train ride to NYC.
 The Metro North train station is 15 minutes away and in just 75 minutes you will be
at Grand Central Station in the heart of New York City.  

Many historic sites are nearby. The Roosevelt Museum and the Vanderbilt Mansion
in Hyde Park, George Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh, and the home of
Samuel F Morse in Poughkeepsie.

There is a local children's museum, as well as a moderate size water park just
minutes away.   Markets are quite close as are theaters, and excellent restaurants.
A visit to the Culinary Institute of America for dinner or lunch is a memorable
experience. Additional regional information can be found at "TRAVEL the Hudson
Valley".
