Lake Joseph

Lake Joseph, a private lakefront residential community is nestled around Lake Joseph, a 250-acre non-motorboat private lake. The lakefront community is located on the town line of both Forestburgh and Thompson and is only minutes away from Route 17 and approximately two hours from the city, a rustic getaway with a suburban feel.
