Named in 2004 as one of the Top 100 Campgrounds in the nation.
Thompson's Lake State Park, nestled in the mountains just four miles from
the Helderberg Escarpment, is a popular camping ground and recreation area.
In addition to 140 wooded campsites, the park comprises a sandy beach, mixed
hardwood and conifer forests, limestone outcroppings and open fields.
Recreational opportunities include a volleyball court, horseshoe pits, a
playing field, swingsets, carry-in boat access, rental row boats, fishing
areas, and nature trails. Interpretive and recreational programs are offered
for campers throughout the summer. During the winter, visitors can
cross-country ski and ice fish.
The Emma Treadwell Thacher Center is
located on Thompson's Lake next to the campground and is accessible to
campers. The center opened in July 2001 and offers exhibits, interactive
displays, trails for hiking and skiing, and educational programs. See the
nature center page for more information.
