Lake George Regional Park, West Side, Route 2, 10 Main St., Canaan -In person only

Lake George Regional Park is a family-friendly park that offers swimming, hiking, boating and fishing. GEAR is covering the entrance fee for families and kids to come and join us for this fun and relaxing social event!  We are located on the west side of the park on a large peninsula with three sides of water where the picnic will be. This park offers swimming from a sandy beach or a rocky shore and is a great relaxing place to enjoy the sun or shade!  A light picnic buffet lunch will be provided and picnic tables are available but please bring your lawn chairs or blankets for additional seating.  If you have special dietary needs please do bring your own lunch. Don’t forget your beach apparel, towels and sunscreen!  There are no lifeguards on duty so parents are responsible for watching their kids. Registration is required. Upon entering the park let the person at the gate know that you are here for the GEAR picnic and your admission will be covered by GEAR.
