Should you ever wish to visit the Corps of Engineers you can stop at their offices located at the dam site. Dorchester Park - Just north of the dam is the most popular destination on the lake. Most persons who want to enjoy Whitney Point Lake head for Dorchester Park. It has facilities and activities to please a wide range of tastes. I'm happy to report that Broome County Government has seen the light in regards to providing access to the widest range of taxpayers which means that there is no longer a fee required to enter the park.
Many persons love to put in small sail boats for excursions on the lake.
If you don't own a boat in the summer you can rent a canoe, a paddle boat or a sail boat from the county concession. Sailing lessons are also available, for a fee. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, certified lifeguards are on duty in the swimming area. A public changing area is located near the beach. The beach and swimming areas are covered with white sand.
