Begin your day gliding across the lake in a whimsical flamingo boat, the morning sun dancing on the water. As the day unfolds, trade wings for paddles with a peaceful kayak ride or a serene float in one of our elegant swan boats.
When golden hour arrives, hop on a surrey bike and take a sunset cruise through the park’s winding paths. In between adventures, spread out a picnic beneath the trees, let the little ones run wild at the playground or spin on the carousel, and soak in every moment of your perfect day at Hempstead Lake State Park—made magical by Beachside Valet.

Drift into a dream getaway at Heckscher State Park, where the scent of pine meets the salty breeze. Whether you’re tucked into a tent beneath the stars or parked in your RV, this is where slow mornings and starry nights come to life.
Rent a fire pit to gather ‘round with friends, and end your week with a cozy Friday night movie under the open sky. Spend your days floating across the water in flamingo or swan boats, pedaling through sun-dappled trails on a surrey bike, or gliding silently in a kayak.
