Belmont Lake State Park is a full service park and the headquarters of the Long Island State Park Region. Activities include boating, fishing, picnicking, biking, horseback riding, hiking and cross-country skiing. The park also has playing fields, horseshoe and basketball courts and playgrounds.
Boating
The park offers a variety of boating options for visitors. Rowboat rentals are available from spring through fall, and paddle boats can be rented during the summer months. Private rowboats are also permitted on the lake after they have been inspected by park officials to prevent invasive species contamination. However, no private motorized watercrafts or sailboats are allowed in order to maintain tranquility within the area.
Fishing
You can enjoy freshwater fishing in a large lake, home to largemouth bass and sunfish. A valid permit is required.



Picnicking
Belmont Lake State Park in New York offers a variety of picnicking options for visitors. The park has several picnic areas that are equipped with tables and grills, perfect for family gatherings or casual outdoor meals.

One popular spot is the area near Belmont Lake itself which provides beautiful views while you eat. There's also plenty of open space around to spread out your blanket if you prefer a more traditional style picnic on the grass.

For larger groups or special occasions, there are three pavilions available for rental within the park - East Pavilion can accommodate up to 100 people; West Pavilion holds about 150 guests; South Picnic Field allows even bigger crowd as it fits approximately 500 individuals. These come with amenities like electricity and water supply but require advance reservation through their online system.

In addition, this state park features playgrounds nearby so kids can play after eating lunch making it an ideal location not just for adults but families too.
Bicycling
Biking is a popular activity within this 463-acre park. However, riders should be aware of certain restrictions and guidelines.

The park offers paved paths suitable for casual biking trips. These trails are shared with pedestrians so caution must be exercised at all times.

Mountain bikes or off-road cycling isn't allowed due to the potential damage it can cause to natural habitats in the area.

Riders under age 14 are required by law to wear helmets while bicycling on these routes for their own safety reasons.

Remember that bike rentals aren't offered here; visitors need bring their own bicycles if they wish to ride around.

Lastly, always respect other users' space when riding your bicycle through crowded areas during peak visiting hours.
Birding
The park offers birdwatching opportunities with a variety of species including waterfowl, songbirds and raptors. Birders can explore trails around the lake or rent rowboats for different perspectives. The spring migration period is particularly popular among enthusiasts due to an influx of warblers.
