Confirmed from Moreau Lake Beach'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.
What runners say about Moreau Lake Beach
“Beautiful lake frequented by locals, you won’t find many lake George tourists here.”
Beautiful lake frequented by locals, you won’t find many lake George tourists here. Life guard on duty, $8 parking fee, the parking lot has lots of shaded spots which is a plus. The shallow water area has tons of small fish, perfect for young kids. Beautiful and serene.
A beautiful quite lake. Great beach area for sand castles, and the lake is great for a paddle boars or kayak. There are pretty tight rules, leave your kites, Frisbee, and balls at home for ant beach play. There is a volleyball area off to the side and also a hiking trail to a great lookout area.
Lovely experience, parking bbq and swimming facilities. Loads of benches for picnics. Walks around the lake. Cool in the forest area.
