Minerva offers the nicest in family oriented recreation: from the 100-acre Minerva Lake/Donnelly Beach to Day Trip Trails along the Hudson River, and to Huntley & Stoney Ponds. During the summer months, enjoy the Minerva Campground and Recreation Park or visit us in the winter and take advantage of the x-country trails, Warming Hut and Ice rink. The Minerva Historical Society & Museum, Olmstedville, is rich in the community's nearly 200 year history, and is open to the public from July until October.

In the summer come and enjoy Minerva Lake & Campgrounds. Donnelly Beach offers great swimming, picnic areas and snack stand. Or make use of the boat launch and take a nice ride on Minerva Lake. Also available are the tennis and basketball courts located next to the pavillion.
