Robert G. Wehle State Park, State park on Lake Ontario shore in Henderson, United States.
Robert G. Wehle State Park is a large park on the Lake Ontario shoreline in Henderson featuring 17 kilometers (17,000 feet) of waterfront and limestone cliffs up to 24 meters (80 feet) high. The property includes thirteen marked trails that wind through different sections of the terrain.
The site served as a military training ground called Stony Point Rifle Range from 1895 to 1947. Afterward it became a cattle ranch before eventually transforming into a public park.
Bronze sculptures of hunting dogs throughout the park commemorate Robert Wehle's renowned English pointer breeding operation. These works reflect how deeply the place was tied to the sporting dog community and its legacy.
The thirteen trails remain accessible year-round and support hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing depending on the season. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing for weather conditions and be aware of lakeside hazards.
The park contains a dedicated dog cemetery and remnants of the former Elhew Kennels breeding facility that once operated there. This location was the most prestigious breeding center for English pointers in North America.
