Mongaup Falls Reservoir

April 04, 2026  •  Leave a Comment

The Mongaup Falls Reservoir is located in the town of Forestburgh in Sullivan County, New York. It has a surface area of 103 acres, a shoreline length of 3.5 miles and a maximum depth of 32 feet.

 

The area around the Mongaup Falls Reservoir is a popular spot for bald eagle viewing, especially in the winter, due to the presence of the Mongaup Valley Wildlife Management Area and the reservoir which provides open water and fish. The reservoirs are kept from freezing by utility companies for power generation, creating a reliable winter food source for the eagles. Viewing is especially good around the reservoir's eagle viewing shelters.
