Moreau Lake State Park's lake lies amid hardwood forests, pine stands and rocky ridges. Shady groves of trees shelter picnic grounds and a pavilion overlooking the lake. Wooded campgrounds are quiet and secluded, offering facilities for group campers, as well as tent and trailer sites. The sandy beach, nature, hiking and cross-country ski trails, opportunities for boating, fishing and ice fishing, and proximity to the Saratoga Spring and Lake George areas make the park attractive to visitors. A wooden pavilion with a 120-person capacity and three canvas tents, which can accommodate from 35-50 people may be reserved on a daily basis. In the Summer, beach lounges, beach umbrella and fishing gear can be rented. In the Winter, snowshoes are available for rent daily.

Bicycling
Biking is permitted on certain trails, but caution should be exercised due to varying terrain and shared use.

Mountain biking offers a challenging experience with steep inclines and rocky paths.

The park's Western Ridge Trail provides scenic views for cyclists; however, it requires advanced skills.

Cyclists must yield to hikers or horseback riders they encounter while exploring the trail network in this area.

Ensure you have proper safety equipment such as helmets before embarking on any cycling adventure here.

Always follow posted signs regarding bike usage restrictions within specific areas of the park.

Remember that some pathways may not allow bicycles at all - always check signage first.
Birding
Birdwatchers can enjoy a variety of species in diverse habitats including lake, forest and wetland areas. The park's trails offer ample opportunities for spotting birds such as warblers, hawks, orioles and more. Birding events are also occasionally organized by the park staff.
