Fair Haven Beach State Park has one of the finest public lakefronts in upstate New York, with high bluffs above sandy beaches and hilly woodlands. Inland, there is Sterling Pond, surrounded by campsites and cabins, with eight of the cabins winterized. The swimming and fishing are excellent. Rowboats, paddleboats and canoes are for rent and the park has a boat launch and a recreation building.

There are a few hiking trails including the Lakeshore Trail which features a walk along the shoreline below towering bluffs.
