Belmont Lake State Park is a day-use state park

History

Belmont Lake State Park was established in 1926 on land that was formerly part of the "Nursery Stud Farm", a Thoroughbred horse farm owned by August Belmont, namesake of the Belmont Stakes.

The park was selected by Robert Moses as regional headquarters for all state parks on Long Island in 1935.
