This was a sad, but epic part of New York history when we locked away almost anyone who was 'different' it's actually supposed to be haunted by one time residents, and though you can't walk on the actual campus you can go across the street to the cemetery where there are literally thousands buried in unnamed graves. It's a sad, but beautiful location overlooking Lake Geneva.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite state park, but this would probably be it because it has everything. At the lower park you can actually go out on a diving board with a lifeguard and go for a swim or do the big hike up to the top and check out Lucifer Falls (my personal fave) it plunges 115 feet!
