Experience these special waters:  Long Pond is a unique deep water lake fed by Highland streams and cool spring water. It appears to be a remnant of a "kettle pond" formed  when a pocket of glacial ice was deposited by the retreating Wisconsin  ice sheet about 15,000 years ago. Locals and reserved guests can join a variety of unique, scheduled aquatic opportunities. Advanced  online reservations and completed waivers are required. Today Long Pond is an open-water aquatic center serving the communities of West Point and the Town of Highlands, NY.
