This is a town picnic area next to a pretty fall, that looks sort of like a series of stone chairs. There is an easy path if you cross the bridge and go down the second trail on the left. We were told by locals that kids play in the falls and sit on the […]
This is a little town park, with a small beach and swim area. The water is crystal clear, but the swimming area is quite small. It would probably be more fun for kids than adults. There was a trailer marked “Sheriff” alongside the beach, though we aren’t sure if this is the actual police station. […]
This is an unofficial swimming hole within Canawaugus Park. This is a pretty little town park, directly beside the water treatment building in Scottsville. This is a popular place with locals, and we saw children playing in the shallows upstream, and jumping off the bridge-but you have to know where to jump. There are stairs […]
This is a nice town beach with a large swim area, and a medium sized sand beach. There is a small picnic area. This location is next to the intersection of County RD 1 and East Lake Road, and you’ll basically just see a parking lot by the water. http://www.co.ontario.ny.us/Facilities/Facility/Details/Deep-Run-Beach-3
Swimming is not allowed here, though you might see people doing it anyway. This is a public park though, so you are allowed to visit the falls. In the southeast corner of the parking lot there is a trail, and you follow it down until it splits into two. If you take the right trail […]
This is a “See” location, and the park is on a ridge high above a massive whirlpool, which is downstream of Niagara Falls. This is a really neat location, though it gets overlooked as most people just visit Niagara. There are companies that run boat rides up to the whirlpool as well, or you can […]
There is a long but narrow beach with a mix of sand and stone, blue water, and a small swimming area. There is a pavilion, and a large grass lawn you could picnic on. Away from the lifeguard area there is more coast line that is still part of the park, and people were wading […]
This is a massive park, with a popular beach. The park is clean and very well maintained, and has a carousel, playground, concessions, picnic areas and pavilions. It sort of reminded us of Disney World, and this would be a great place for families. The beach is enormous, with very large swim areas, and multiple […]
This is a huge park, with multiple sand beaches spread throughout. Our pictures are from Area 3, which had two beaches just in that section. There are designated lifeguard areas, though it sort of seems like you can kind of swim anywhere. There was a sewage smell when we were here, but we are not […]
We didn’t know if we should add this one, as swimming is not allowed. We decided to include it because it is pretty, and people were letting their dogs swim.
