Yes it's a park with other things for the kids and etc. Its well maintained and clean. The only thing that's annoying are the speed bumps while driving thru the park.

The paths are lovingly maintained. I have visited in all seasons and conditions. Check out the town website for all of the community events hosted here as well as hours for the park and nature center. The historic home is open for tours and tells the story of the farm and family that owned it for 6 generations. There are restrooms near the parking lot area by the home. A small children's garden, a playground, a labyrinth /maze and exercise stations are just some of the things of note. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax and take in the views. This park is ADA compliant.

So I've been wanting to go to Chimney Bluffs for a while, but I've heard that Chimney Bluffs has a…read moretrail closed down... and other trails may be less dog friendly. Since I'm taking my pup, Redford, with me on all my hikes and everything (yay for socialization + exercise)..? Having a dog friendly walk/hike spot is a necessity. So! I opted to pick another park in a similar area. Beechwood State Park is new for us, about a 20 minute drive from Chimney Bluffs, AND seems to have significantly fewer people visiting (which, during this pandemic, is especially nice... though be aware that the parking lot probably only holds about 15-ish vehicles)... plus, a colleague of mine visited back in July and said it was an interesting spot with plenty of little side trails for the pup. :) Now managed by the Town of Sodus, Beechwood State Park is a former Girl Scout camp that's now, well, pretty dilapidated after it was forced to close in the late 1990's due to financial issues. Now totaling about 288 acres, with plenty of trail branches to wander, it also borders Lake Ontario (with some trails that go near the Maxwell Bay area as well). Though erosion has resulted in the lake's beach area being covered in some fallen trees, there's still a narrow pebble beach to wander. There are some cliff-type areas, so be sure to watch the trails, be aware of the erosion going on, and not to let yourself, those you're with, and your own pups get too close. There can also be some areas near cabins that have bits of broken glass... so something else to consider and watch out for. Town of Sodus staff do seem to check out the trails regularly (we saw 2 or 3 park carts driving through during our walk), but part of the appeal of this park is that it's off the beaten path a bit. It's the park-version of a hole-in-the-wall diner, if you will. Bonus: since it's getting close to Halloween, the rundown cabins and other camp buildings seemed especially fitting. There was even a group having a spooky photoshoot in a wooded area that had what appeared to be the remains of a burned camp building.

I will say it was super muddy today, so make sure you wear boots if you are going when it is wet out! The trail is right along the water, which is cool.

On the upper portion of the park is the actual walking trail, which is a really well worn out path and very easy to walk (though I wouldn't consider it accessible to those in wheelchairs, etc). There isn't really anything to *see* at the end... it just kind of ends... but then you turn around and walk back. Honestly, my dog was more than happy to explore the entirety either way. :) I do have to remove one star because their bathroom facilities aren't great. At the time of my visit, the women's restroom was completely clogged - and the men's room was basically a single stall. :-/ TL;DR Really enjoyable park and I'll definitely be back in the future.

Crittenden Park was 'developed' partly to prevent any development from occurring in this area…read more Having grown up on Crittenden Road in the 1960's/70's, much of the land in this area is lowland and 'swamp' like in spots, thus preventing any reasonable other use for the land. For years, this area was my 'playground'. My friends, siblings and I spent a lot of time walking all over this area along Crittenden Road which was a wilderness close to civilization. Appreciate this area for what it is: free open space for people to play, or to hike in the area and appreciate the extensive wildlife that calls this area 'home'. Beautiful, quiet, and little evidence of human occupancy. A nice reprieve in this overdeveloped world of ours.
