This is a New York State Park that is accessible only by boat. There are two public docks available as you approach the park. The dock to the east (port side as you approach the park) has an approach water depth of 5-6 feet for the length of the dock, while the dock to the west has a shallower depth of maybe 3-5 feet and a rocky area off the end of the dock (warning signs are posted). The westerly dock is a bit more secluded, and the easterly dock has a nice gazebo and picnic area which is more popular with day boaters. The two areas are only 150 yards apart with a well-marked between them. The westerly dock is newly rebuilt and easy to tie up to. Park Rangers visit the dock daily to collect park fees ($6 for day use, $19 for overnight docking). The restrooms leave a bit to be desired as they are very dark and have no lights. There are no other services, and there are some restrictions about running a generator overnight. But, for a very peaceful stop at a great price, this dockage is hard to beat.
