Wellesley Island State Park

Wellesley Island State Park extends along the Saint Lawrence River with 432 campsites, four boat launches, and a full-service marina for water activities.

The land transformed from a small settlement with farming activities in 1898 into a state park in the 1950s through a private owner donation.

The Minna Anthony Common Nature Center provides educational programs and exhibits about local ecosystems, featuring guided tours and environmental workshops throughout the year.

The park maintains wilderness campsites, electrical hook-up areas, twelve vacation rentals, and a cabin colony for various accommodation preferences.

The park contains an internal water body called Lake of the Isles, creating distinct ecological zones that support 18 different natural community types.
