Cedar Point State Park, State park in Hammond, New York
Cedar Point State Park sits along the St. Lawrence River with limestone cliffs, forested terrain, and multiple access points to the water. The park has 48 campsites with electrical service, picnic grounds, boat ramps, and designated swimming areas.
The park was established in 1898 as part of the St. Lawrence Reserve to protect natural resources along the river. This early founding reflects a long tradition of preserving the river landscape in the region.
The park serves as a gathering place where visitors and locals fish, picnic, and enjoy the riverside traditions of the St. Lawrence region. You will find people here throughout the warmer months taking advantage of the water and natural surroundings.
The park operates for camping and day visits from May through October when conditions are best for water activities and overnight stays. Arriving early helps secure good parking and picnic spots, especially on weekends.
The limestone formations along the shoreline create natural steps leading down to the water, forming small sheltered coves. These rock formations attract various fish species and offer swimmers an unusual water access surrounded by rocky geology.
