Absence from these datasets does not mean the water is closed, only that no agency lists a beach. Public datasets record no beach at Ashokan Reservoir, so treat any shoreline access as unmarked and unsupervised. If you need a named beach, Pine Ledge on Candlewood Lake is some 48 miles from here.
Nearby water includes Rondout Reservoir (New York, 16 mi), Neversink Reservoir (New York, 23 mi) and Schoharie Reservoir (New York, 31 mi). New York has 32 lakes on this site in total.
There is no water temperature sensor here, so only air conditions are shown. Water quality is monitored unevenly on inland lakes, so posted notices are the most reliable guide. Most New York day-use areas open for the summer season and close outside it.
