| State Park Overview: |
 | The quiet charm of Wawayanda appeals to hikers, campers, swimmers and boaters. Forested hills surround Lake Wawayanda creating a restful backdrop for canoeists, boaters and fisherman, while steep mountains challenge casual as well as serious hikers. A twenty-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail runs through the park, while the top of Wawayanda Mountain offers sensational views. More than forty miles of trails are marked in the park. |

A great place to kayak
We held an outing for friends to kayak and canoe. This is a really beatutiful lake with lots of wildlife to see (turtles, a snake, ducks and a heron). The lake is big enough to allow hours to explore. A few people rented canoes. We all had a great day even though it was quite windy.
