My wife, two teenage sons, miniature poodle, and I visited this state park on a hot day in July…read more2025. We parked on the East Bay Drive entrance (which has a very steep but short climb to view the bluffs). Please note the east entrance to the Bluff Trail has a limited number of parking spots with two porta-potty units instead of a full restroom. This is NOT the main entrance to the state park (which offers a larger parking lot and picnic benches). Although we did not have enough time to explore the other sections of the park or walk the full 1.3 miles of the Bluff Trail, I think the dramatic view of the drumlins with Lake Ontario in the background was more than worth the 1 hour drive from Penn Yan (on Keuka Lake) where we stayed for vacation. Another benefit of parking on the east end of the Bluff trail is that you have convenient walking access to Dragon View Beach (a popular spot to go swimming in the summer).

From there it's stairs to the view vice the 1.3 mile walk from the west. For me, I prefer the walk. Noisy jet skis kind of detract. Walk it nice and smooth with nothing too steep or rough.

It's most definitely dog and family friendly. Just be patient with parking, as it's a bit limited.

I look forward to returning to explore the other wooded trails.

A nice walk on the pier out to the lighthouse though an awful lot of small flying insects. Of course, the lighthouse is accessible from here too. These two lighthouses protect Sodus Bay, the largest natural harbor on Lake Ontario. This light was first established in 1858, the new lighthouse was replaced in 1938 with this 51 foot tall structure. The view over Lake Ontario is fabulous, especially this early in the morning. At 7:00 am, I had the park to myself. Highly recommend. [Review 1531 of 2024 - 447 in New York - 22554 overall]

I loved my site with trees secluding me from my adjacent neighbors. I biked all around the site and lake. The lake looked awesome for swimming, fishing and boating access.

We went in early November, which obviously is the off season and no one else was there. This was a lovely time to enjoy the view and take some photos (trying out a new camera haha). There were two bathrooms, as far as I can tell, and one of them (near the front entrance) was heated and had actual toilets.

Not fun for anyone over the age of 5. Also, the water fountain doesn't work, which isn't fun.read more

I can't believe I'm the first to review this place!…read more We have been excited to check out the new Motion Junction playground since before it was finished and open to the public. We heard that it was supposed to be fully inclusive, the first of its kind. So when we saw the sign for the grand opening ceremony, we knew we were going! The ceremony was really beautiful, and a lot more people attended than I expected. They told us the story of how the idea of this playground came to be, recognized everybody that helped and donated, and informed us that it would be finished in "phases". So it is not yet complete, even though the playground is ready be loved and enjoyed by all! I honestly can not tell you how much I love this playground. The ground is padded with soft, squishy material. (It won't hurt if you fall!) There are sidewalks and ramps everywhere. For kids there are monkey bars, balance platforms, bridges, slides, musical instruments, fully accessible swings, zip lines, and more! There is a giant smiley face "meet up" spot. There are buddy benches for kids that want to find a friend. There is a communication station for the nonverbal. Umbrellas and benches are strewn throughout, and heartwarming inclusive signs made by kids, for kids are hung around the outer fence. In the future they plan to put a building down with a proper entrance that has bathrooms and a concession stand. A friend of mine that uses a wheelchair was excited that she could finally swing with her daughter. This place is magic, guys. And it's not even finished. Super highly recommend a visit!

They also have some pretty expansive butterfly fields, which, alas I was unable to fully appreciate because I didn't go there at quite the right time of year but that's okay. Toward the back is a beautiful lake, and I'd recommend sticking to the trails back there because it can get kind of muddy otherwise. Great place to see a bunch of frogs, deer, and the occasional snake.

We visited the park on a crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon and were delightfully surprised by it…read more There are a quite a few short trails here that make for a nice easy hike. The terrain is relatively flat so it's good for folks of a wide variety of fitness levels. I think this would be a great place to introduce a young one to hiking as the trails aren't too long or challenging and there's a variety of stuff to look at. There are also a few benches scattered throughout to sit and take a break. There are quite a few knobby roots in the paths so I'd recommend shoes with sturdy soles. We didn't go out to the longest trail because we stopped on a whim and weren't wearing the best shoes. All the trails are well marked with white maps that show where you are and all the other trails so it's really easy to navigate. There are a few older signs that must have been there for a while and some of the trail names seem to have changed. So just ignore those. The first trail that spurs off the main trail leads to a little pond, but we couldn't really see it as it was obscured by cattails. Our favorite trail was the boardwalk trail as you're surrounded by all the cattails and it feels like the boardwalk just goes on forever. We saw some folks that looked like they were there to bird watch, so it might be a good place if you're into that. As it is a nature preserve, there are signs posted for no dogs and no biking. There's other info posted at the trailhead and some interesting posters as well.

Stopped here to check out the walking trail, and was pleasantly surprised by how big the park was!…read more The trail: Alltrails said this was classified as easy, but I beg to differ. The first half seemed that way! There were book pages laid out in weather proof stands to read as we walked. It was flat and wide, and follows the water. But as soon as you turn the bend and walk up those stairs, everything changes. It gets thin and overgrown, roots and rocks are everywhere, and one misstep would probably send you down the hill on either side if you're not careful. I would definitely classify this trail as a moderate, and would not recommend the second half to anyone who isn't steady on their feet! The rest of the park: Beautiful! So many wide open areas! Water, which always earns brownie points for ambience. A few covered pavilions, a really fun playground area, and an impressive community center. I'm not sure I would walk the trail again, but I would definitely come back here for everything else!
