Park description

Facilities offered by the park include a gazebo, a boat launch and docks, cabins, fishing, picnic tables, and a campground with tent and trailer sites.[1] The park has views overlooking Lake of the Isles.

The park is easily accessible to visitors, being close to Interstate 81, which links northwards to Highway 401 in Ontario, Canada. The park is the first recreational area which visitors from Canada come to, when crossing into the United States over the Thousand Islands Bridge.[citation needed]
