Putnam County may be smaller than some of its neighbors, but it’s overflowing with outdoor beauty. From lakeside picnics to mountain hikes, here are my favorite parks to explore.

1. Clarence Fahnestock State Park

Over 14,000 acres of hiking, camping, and fishing. In winter, it transforms into a cross-country skiing wonderland.

2. Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park

Perfect for family gatherings, fishing, and seasonal festivals.

3. Wonder Lake State Park

A peaceful, 1,145-acre park that feels like a true escape — hiking trails, birdwatching, and serene lake views.
