Winding Hills Park is located off NY 17K in the Comfort Hills two miles (3.2 km) west of the village of Montgomery, New York, United States, straddling the Montgomery-Crawford town line. It is a 502-acre (203 ha) area centered on 40-acre (16 ha) Diamond Lake that is primarily used for outdoor recreation.[1]
Much of the park is wooded, with some clear areas around the roads. The hills slope up to the east, and the terrain to the north and west remains gently rolling. Elevations range from 500 feet (150 m) above sea level at the west, where Pine Swamp drains toward the Wallkill River via a short unnamed tributary, to 780 feet (240 m) at the USGS Kimball benchmark.
