Discover Green Lakes State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Green Lakes State Park, located in Fayetteville, New York, is a 1,900-acre expanse of enchanting woodlands and lakes. Officially founded in 1928, Green Lakes State Park attracts thousands of visitors keen to experience the beauty of the park's lakes and landscape. From hiking and swimming in the summer to snowshoeing and skiing in the winter, there's plenty to do and see here!

The most unique and memorable attractions for visitors will likely be the two center lakes, Round Lake and Green Lake. These striking turquoise lakes are both meromitric, which means the layers of their waters don't mix. The bottom layers of both lakes are colder than the top and protect a fragile ecosystem of rare plant and animal life. Rent an RV in Onondaga County and uncover the mysteries of the most studied meromitric lakes in the U.S.
