Big Deep and Little Deep are Woodstock town properties
The current Town of Woodstock property page identifies both places and invites visitors to enjoy trails and Saw Kill views from dawn to dusk. They are not unmanaged sites merely because their setting is natural. Despite this listing's retained regional name, it does not document a separate Saugerties swimming entrance.
Follow the property's published rules
The town prohibits camping, fires including grills and stoves, glass containers, amplified music and unleashed dogs. Carry out waste and do not disturb nature. These are shared property rules; they do not verify the archive's particular swings, informal shoreline paths or picnic seating.
Keep trail access separate from bathing permission
The current invitation concerns trails and views. It does not explicitly confirm a present swimming entrance, safe depth, lifeguard coverage or water quality. Ask the town about the planned activity and each place's current entrance before traveling. Do not infer either a blanket swim prohibition or a bathing clearance from a trails page.
Use a current entrance, not the old route chain
Archived bridge parking, an unsigned driveway and a link toward the Kingston Reservoir are not current authorized routes. Choose Big Deep or Little Deep independently and check signs. Historical clothing-optional accounts do not establish today's rules. The aggregate pin is withheld until a specific lawful approach is corroborated.
Getting There
Choose Big Deep or Little Deep first and confirm the current signed public entrance and parking with the town. Do not follow the old bridge parking, unsigned driveway or downstream reservoir route as current access instructions; no single aggregate bathing pin is verified.
