This spot has long been loved by locals, and since the state has revamped the fishing access and added a handicapped accessible boat launch, porta-potty, fishing dock, picnic tables, benches, a grill and fire pit, and groomed handicapped accessible path, now it is ready for everyone to love if you are lucky enough to find it. Still a little bit of a secret, and nicely secluded, this is a peaceful place to come and picnic, watch boats, fish (if you have a license), or BBQ.
If you are familiar with the area and its history, you may remember the old pavilion that once stood here. Sadly, it was vandalized so many times it was removed for safety reasons. The land changed hands a few times, at one point being owned by NYSEG. There is plenty of history about the lake and the dam which can be found on the Goodyear Lake Association website. Come by land or water from the boat launch. If you choose to come by water stay close to the shore and you will see plenty of wildlife. There are beaver, fish, turtles, frogs, chipmunks, and birds including the reclusive pileated woodpecker. If you come in the evening in summer, you can watch lightning bugs or stargaze over the lake. The point faces west, and is a wonderful spot to catch a sunset.
