Grafton Lake State Park progresses in northern Rensselaer County
Eight years after the dream began, the first stage of Grafton Lake State Park is complete. A 1000 foot bathing beach, bathhouses, 300 picnic tables, boat launches, and space for 600 cars greet visitors as the 1450 acre park nears final development. The project boosts nearby land values and spurs cottage and home site interest as highways are expected. The park promises golf and camping facilities and could become a major regional recreation center.
