    Great park with amazing views of Seneca Lake. When we went, it was clean, well maintained, and pretty empty which was nice. We came to check out the sunset on the lake. I HIGHLY recommend coming here to see the sunset- it's the most beautiful one I've seen on the East Coast. Fun little playground nearby too.

    Do not recommend

    Do not go if you're tent camping. Tent campsites are tiny, such a confusing layout, had to move picnic table and tents to fit when two RV's pulled in right beside us on the rv sites. We weren't allowed to have a dining canopy because it counted as a tent apparently so plan accordingly. Bathrooms also disgustingly dirty with bugs everywhere. Also if within a group only allowed to park one car which was fine, they have an overflow parking lot. Only plus was good location, close to town and vineyards as well as across the street from lake Seneca.

    This lake front park on Seneca lake is a great place to bring kids. Free parking, picnic tables, restrooms, playground area, small beach with lake swimming (and lifeguards), and best of all a great splash pad for the kids to run around in. My son had a fantastic time!

    Free swimming on a hot day! The lake was gorgeous. Decent restroom facilities for a park. It was a great place to stop and cool off!

    Set sail for True Love, a truly enjoyable time!…read more Bottom Line Up Front: We had a wonderful, relaxing, and fun time for a good price. The Good: The history of the John Alden designed schooner is worth reading before you go. We had some more "salty" members of our group that recognized the name of the schooner from the 1956 movie "High Society" starring Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra and after that we were on board for a wonderful time. We even were seated in the seats once occupied by Gene and Bing. We purchased our tickets after being approached by Terry who negotiated a decent price with us because he wanted a full boat for the next trip. Captain Bill was an experienced Captain and is well known in the area. He got us underway and was a delightful host regaling us with stories about the "True Love", Seneca Lake and surroundings, as well as, some stories about racing the "True Love" and his crew, Spencer and Marena. Captain Bill even assisted another sailing boat that was in distress and precariously close to the lake edge. The trip was two hours long and on time. The crew served non-alcoholic and adult beverages (some free, some for a price) while underway and also sold some souvenirs (Whisky and glasses). The Bad: There was nothing bad, from start to finish, this was a very enjoyable trip and the crew definitely enjoyed sharing their love of the "Trie Love" with the joyful passengers. The Ugly: Absolutely nothing other than we could not be out for longer. If you find yourself in Watkins Glen, this is definitely an enjoyable to kick back, relax, and let the wind fill your sails. They say a picture is worth 1000 words, so I am going to end my post with a few that we snapped along the way. May you have fair winds, and following lake waters!

    Excellent sailing experience The crew was great and was…read morevery eager to make sure we had a great time The boat was in excellent condition

    Seneca Lake stretches long and narrow through central New York, its deep blue water framed by…read morerolling hills, vineyards, and small lakeside towns. I found the setting open and expansive, with clear sightlines across the water that changed character depending on the weather and season. The shoreline offered a mix of natural overlooks, parks, marinas, and small developed areas, giving me multiple ways to experience the lake rather than a single central viewpoint. The main highlight for me was the lake itself and the variety of ways to interact with it. The water felt calm and clean in many areas, and the region is especially known for boating, cruising, and lakeside relaxation. Along the surrounding shores, vineyards and wineries are a major part of the identity, and I stopped at a few for tastings with scenic views over the water. The small towns around the lake added to the experience, giving me access to picnic areas, walking paths, and casual waterfront spots where I could take in the lake at a slower pace. The experience around Seneca Lake was generally relaxed and spread out, with no single concentrated entry point or structured route. I took a boat tour from one of the marinas, which gave me a more immersive perspective on the water, and I also pulled over at roadside overlooks and shoreline parks for simpler, quieter moments. Crowds varied by season, with summer being more active and the time I visited feeling much quieter.

    Such a great spot for a picnic and a stroll down the pier. The lake is stunning with clear water…read moreand lovely views. It has plenty of public parking and is close to local shops, restaurants and Watkins Glen State Park. You can enjoy the boats coming in and out of the public marina from your picnic table!
