Suggestions for Lake near Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

Andrea H. • September 27, 2015Beautiful ~600 acres that seems endless, designed by the same architects of Central Park (but known as their fave!). Full of gems like the boathouse, skating rink, lakes, & great bike/running routes.

Susie R. • September 26, 2010Best boat ride around Manhattan for city dweller or tourist! Be prepared to get soaked while cruising along to bad eighties music and seejng the best views of the city.

Fodor's Travel • September 9, 2015Every corner of Prospect Park is worth exploring, but the part closest to Windsor Terrace includes the peaceful man-made lake. Benches and small wooden gazebos dot the waterfront.
