Nippersink Resort

Image

View across lawn towards a boathouse on a lake. On the far left is what appears to be a tall, wooden water slide, with a set of steep steps. People are sitting in a gazebo area above the boathouse, and sitting on benches on the lawn. There are boats moored to a pier on the right, and a group of people around a diving board. The far shoreline is in the distance.
