Trail's End Beach is now PRIVATE!
Beginning May 2011, our beach will only be open for registered campers and their guests. It will not be open to the public for day use.
Trail's End and Lake Access
Trail's End only provides lake access to their campers, residents, people who launch boats, or people who rent our boats, pavilion and their guests.
We are not a place where people can be dropped off and/or picked up by folks who are already out on the lake. The State of New York has provided a boat launch off of Route 365 as well as the DEC run Hinckley Day Use Area. You can find information about the state beach at the DEC website here.
Please note, Trail's End does not permit the use of metal detectors on our beach.
