With the summer heat finally here, weekends become an opportunity to escape sweltering in the city. One of Cockpit USA's go to destinations is Lake Taghkanic State Park. Perfectly placed in the hills and among the forest by Lake Taghkanic, this destination has it all. If it's rest and rehabilitation or unleashing your beastly side in the wilderness or just a recreational weekend of camping and trekking is what you seek, it can be found in this part of Columbia County. Catering to all needs, the park is peppered with cabins, cottages, tents and trailer campsites along with picnic areas, rowing boats, two beaches and facilities for hiking, hunting, fishing and biking! With all the boxes ticked, there's no need to seek elsewhere to escape to this weekend!
