Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park, State park in Schenevus, New York
Description
Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park is a wooded area near Schenevus with forests, meadows, and two ponds spread across the grounds. The park contains hiking trails, fishing spots, picnic facilities, and rustic log cabin lodging.
History
The land was privately owned before Betty and Wilbur Davis donated it in 2001. This gift transformed the property into a public outdoor recreation area.
Culture
The park serves as a gathering place where people come to hike through wooded trails, fish in the ponds, and enjoy outdoor sports across all seasons. These activities shape how locals and visitors experience the land throughout the year.
Practical
The park sits on Davis Road in a rural setting and works best when explored on foot along the marked trails. Visitors should know that trail conditions change with seasons and proper footwear matters for safe walking.
Did you know?
The two ponds are dedicated fishing areas with catch-and-release rules that protect the fish population. This approach lets anglers enjoy fishing while keeping the waters balanced.
