Pump House overview
Pump House
One of the main reasons to visit the Pump House is to see the impressive machinery that was once used to pump water from the Ashokan Reservoir into the city's water supply. Visitors can explore the various pumps, valves, and other equipment that were used to move millions of gallons of water each day.
In addition to the impressive machinery on display, visitors can also enjoy a beautiful view of the reservoir and the surrounding countryside. The Pump House is located at the top of a hill, providing a unique perspective on the park's natural beauty.
Another unique feature of the Pump House is its location at the end of a long, winding road that leads through the park's hills and valleys. Visitors can take a scenic drive to the Pump House, enjoying the sights and sounds of the park along the way.
Overall, the Pump House is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the New York national park. With its fascinating history, impressive machinery, and beautiful location, it is sure to be a highlight of any park tour.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
