Lakeside Beach State Park

Lakeside Beach State Park is a protected area covering about 744 acres along Lake Ontario's shoreline in New York. The grounds feature four miles of trails through natural landscapes bordered by the lake and farmland, plus over 270 campsites and various recreational facilities.

The New York State Office of Parks created this recreational area to protect the Lake Ontario shoreline and provide public access to its waters and natural features. This park was part of a broader effort to preserve natural waterfront spaces from development.

The park connects local communities through outdoor activities, with sports fields and regular nature education programs that bring people together. Visitors use the space to play sports, explore wildlife, and learn about the natural environment around the lake.

The park is easy to reach and offers ample parking for day visitors plus overnight camping accommodations with basic amenities. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since trails can be uneven and weather along the lakeshore can be windy.

The Shore Winds Disc Golf Course, installed in 2009, stretches across 18 holes along Lake Ontario and is integrated into the natural shoreline landscape. This facility combines recreational sport with nature conservation, allowing players to enjoy the landscape while playing.
