   This lake is so wonderful. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Windham Mountain since you're here, and no need to travel far to stop at exciting stuff like Star Rock. Some of the water close by flows, like Allen Brook, and in the event that you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Saw Kill River. This place is unbeatable, just explore all the exciting things to do close to Lake Rip Van Winkle. You get  
               a perfect sight of Clum Hill from Lake Rip Van Winkle, and what would winter be without some skiing at Hunter Mountain.
