Wonder Lake in Patterson, NY

Wonder Lake State Park is a 973-acre (3.9 km²) state park in Putnam County, New York, U.S. in the town of Patterson. It was founded in 1998 with an original 794 acres, and was expanded by the purchase of 106 acres (0.4 km²) of open space in February 2006.^[1]

Lying midway between public lands in Kent and the Great Swamp in Patterson, Putnam County, Wonder Lake State Park is a critical link in the Northern Putnam Greenway. OPRHP (Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation) acquired the 794-acre Wonder Lake property in November 1998 using Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act funds. The new state park was once the summer home of television star Elizabeth Montgomery. Acquisition provides protection to the Great Swamp watershed and unique open space areas.^[2]
