But now the secret's out
Growing up in Saratoga County my whole life, I had no idea this little oasis existed. Hidden away in the town of Charlton is Little Troy Park. A 20 acre recreation area with a playground, picnic tables, sandy beach and a swimming pond.
It's a members-only club, if you're interested in checking it out, they are holding open house weekends from 1pm-6pm for a limited time.
The beach has a dock, floating dock, slide and is supervised by a lifeguard. Currently, the beach is open on weekends, but will be open daily starting June 27th. Kids swimming lessons will also be offered for members this summer.
There's still time to join and make this your summer destination. Different membership levels are offered via their website at littletroypark.org.
