It is off-season my favorite time to go to State parks. Everything is neat and clean. There are overnight campsites on and off the water as well as day sites some great little trails through the woods.

What a well kept and beautiful state park. Hard to improve on the view and location. My only suggestion is to reclaim some of the beach that has been taken over by cattails.

One of the nicest camping spots we've ever had. The park is spotless and we'll-groomed. Most of the sites are on a lawn with either views of the St Lawrence River or actually on the shore, like ours. Some of the lower numbered sites are in the woods. There is a nice sandy beach with a lifeguard, and a dock and boat launch for motorboats. The bathrooms and showers are brand new and the showers are free. There is also a nice laundry facility. While some sites near the water have electric, most don't. However, water spigots are plentiful and you can fill up with water at the dump station, which is also new. The only complaint, which really isn't a complaint, is that it's about a half hour drive to a grocery store. They do sell ice and wood at the toll booth, however. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Thousand Islands.

We came here for a weekend getaway this past weekend and had a wonderful time. We brought our two small dogs, and it was very pet friendly. The bathrooms were clean and had hot water. (One suggestion: think about changing the shower heads? They are jet streams and hurt a little lol) but nothing we couldn't deal with. The campsites were very spacious, the park staff were friendly and very attentive. The beach was closed, though, while we were there the entire time. People still swam, but we weren't sure why it was closed? Great spots to fish if you want to fish. Also, great views are all around. We were able to watch the fireworks they had in Canada, and it was beautiful. One real suggestion: maybe getting a camp store? Overall, it was a GREAT camping spot and would highly recommend to anyone.

This was my first time visiting this park and I tried to string the trails together to get one continuous loop. It ended up being roughly 2 miles and change from the parking lot by the beach out and back. Each trail intersection was clearly marked in the woods but I still checked the photocopied trail map they gave me at the entrance station to make sure I was turning in the right direction. I walked clockwise around the trails. However, I think the counter-clockwise direction might be more challenging with steeper uphills, but that's just a guess. The terrain varied quite a bit from roots to rock to mud to deep sawdust and there were a few steep up-and-down sections. I definitely recommend using hiking or trail running shoes. There wasn't anyone else out walking so it was a glorious time to be in the woods. There was a little bit of car/truck noise but it was still pretty quiet most of the time. Also, in mid-June, the mosquitoes and black flies were out in force in the wetter areas so don't forget to bring the bug spray!
