The Washington county beach at Huletts Landing is now open daily for the 2010 season. The park is open 7 days a week from 8 a.m – 8 p.m. and the swimming beach is open from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.

The Washington county beach is the only free public beach on Lake George in Washington county.

The new manager for the park, Amanda Mazza, wants everyone to know that if any group or person wants to reserve the pavilion, they can stop by and see her in person. She will assist in booking the pavilion. She hopes to have a basketball tournament and perhaps even a summer reading program in place later in the summer.

One note about the park: it is a “carry-in” and “carry-out” destination. This means that any trash generated must be brought out by the same individuals bringing it in. Also canoes and kayaks can be launched but cannot be docked overnight.

So take a break and stop by for a swim or picnic. The Washington county beach is a huge asset to the community and the county!
