About

De Veaux Woods State Park spans 51 acres along the Niagara Scenic Parkway north of Niagara Falls, offering visitors access to a rare stand of old-growth forest. Approximately 10 acres of the park preserve old-growth forest dominated by white, red, and black oak trees, providing a glimpse of what Western New York looked like prior to European settlement. The park's land was originally part of the historic De Veaux College campus. The park features nature trails through both meadow and old-growth forest environments, two ball diamonds, a signature playground, and extensive picnic facilities including a rentable pavilion that accommodates up to 50 people. A modern dog park completed in 2019 offers separated sections for small and large dogs plus a full exterior fenced run area. A pedestrian path crosses the Niagara Scenic Parkway connecting to Whirlpool State Park and the Niagara Gorge Trail System. This is a day-use only facility with no camping available. Restroom facilities are available year-round. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk with no vehicle entry fee. Pets are permitted in day-use areas on leashes up to 6 feet in length.
