Confirmed from Argyle Lake Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This park with a lake is used for fishing, dog-walking & wedding photographs.
What runners say about Argyle Lake Park
“The park is very well maintained and clean.”
“It is still a beautiful place to walk, or just sit ans enjoy the wildlife in the water”
“If you have a dog you can walk them there as many other's do just make sure to bring a bag.”
Has a little parking lot where maps had me enter, so drive slow when getting close so you don't miss the entrance. Great place to take a little walk or fish for bass especially on a nice day. Plenty of geese and swans so do be mindful of where you step.
Beautiful local park. The cherry blossom trees this time of year are so pretty! There's a little pond and waking trail an we love that its dog friendly! The trail loops around the pond and its a little less than a mile.
Argyle Lake park is a beautifully done setting for taking a leisure stroll, brisk walk, jog and it is perfect for wedding pictures or sweet sixteen pictures. You will see from the images that there are plenty of picturesque images to capture of the park, lake , the marina across the street or take in a music venue in…
It was a windy and cold afternoon of April. Unlike previous year, this year it’s still cold in NYC. We took A li’ll escape and run from the chaotic city life to enjoy the serenity of nature. We choose the village of Babylon.

“The wedding gazebo area is right off the main street and parking lot, so we had to be creative in avoiding cars in the background, but it can be done.”
“If you have a dog you can walk them there as many other's do just make sure to bring a bag.”
