     There's so much to do here at Purdy Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Camp Discovery is a great spot for that, and nearby you hit upon the Appalachian National Scenic Trail which is a great hiking trail. A fine close by hotel is Comfort Inn & Suites; going for a hike on the Stillwell Lake Trail is always a good adventure. Purdy Pond really is in the middle of a stunning outdoors paradise. If you came to camp Camp Echo Lake is a fine place to do that;  
   if you need a place to stay Edith Macy Conference Center is a brilliant choice. Purdy Pond is a quite wet place regularly with a large amount of precipitation; July is the wettest month with most rain, and the driest of the months is February.
This lake is so wonderful. In the event that you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Popolopen Creek; the smiling people of Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown like to hang out close

I'm not quite sure what the reference to 'Robert Moses' is all about, except perhaps the state park on Long Island, about equidistant, but in the opposite direction, from NYC-Newark-Edison. Gateway National Recreation Area, although very nice, is also nowhere near this trail....
