From the Oblong to Whaley Lake, Pawling is a rich in recreational resources.
Organizations such as The Oblong Land Conservancy, Friends
of the Great Swamp and The Appalachian Trail Association
ensure that the public enjoys the benefits of our preserved land whenever possible.
Their programs provide the public with parks, trailways, wildlife habitats, clean
air and water, and recreational opportunities. The
Town of Pawling Recreational Department
invites you to enjoy the outdoors on hundreds of acres of parkland that include
the oldest municipality owned golf course in America, a dozen tennis courts and
two lakes. The private Quaker Hill Country Club offers its members
and guests golfing, tennis and croquet. There are many recreational opportunities
in the Whaley Lake area as well.
