Beaver Island State Park
Beaver Island State Park, State park at Grand Island, United States
Description
Beaver Island State Park is a large protected area with a sandy beach along the Niagara River that stretches about half a mile (800 meters). The grounds include multiple recreational facilities such as trails, picnic areas, and water access for visitors.
History
The site was established in 1935 from former private estates of Buffalo families, including a former resort and a house visited by President Grover Cleveland. This origin shows how public parks developed from private property of the past.
Culture
The Historic River Lea museum in the park displays exhibits about Grand Island's past and serves as home to the local historical society. Visitors can explore these collections to understand how the island's community developed over time.
Practical
The grounds have nine pavilions available for group use when needed and accommodate different group sizes. The park is open year-round and is easy to explore on foot with good paths to various areas.
Did you know?
The park sits in the path of a total solar eclipse and will offer a rare astronomical event experienced at only a few locations. This special natural phenomenon draws visitors who want to observe it in a peaceful park setting.
