Kiamesha Lake, NY

Kiamesha Lake sits along Route 42 in Sullivan County, right between Monticello and Fallsburg. During the Borscht Belt era, it was a busy vacation hub anchored by the massive Concord Resort and lively summer bungalow colonies. Today, that hospitality scene has turned into modern attractions like Resorts World Catskills and The Kartrite Indoor Waterpark. Route 42 serves as the main commercial strip, giving residents easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, and neighboring towns.
