Moreau Lake State Park

06/02/2026

We are hosting some pride programs at the end of the month geared toward the LGBTQIA+ community, but all are welcome!
We are highlighting these programs because often times the outdoors have not been welcoming place to this community. We have plenty of programs for everyone. 😌 Check out our calendar for tons of other programs in case this doesn’t interest you.

All programs require registration by calling 518-793-0511.

Birding with pride!:

🐾REMINDER🌳
Pets are welcome at Moreau Lake State Park and Big Bend Preserve but must be supervised at all times and be on a leash not more than 6 feet in length. This is for the safety of pets, patrons, and other animals. It is especially important during the spring months when wildlife such as coyotes and foxes rear offspring and are particularly protective of their habitat and young.
