About

Wilson-Tuscarora State Park is a 476.5-acre natural preserve located along Lake Ontario in Niagara County, featuring diverse ecosystems of mature woods, open meadows, and marshland that support many varieties of plants and wildlife. The park is divided by Tuscarora Bay, which is separated from Lake Ontario by a strip of land called "The Island." Recreational opportunities include a four-mile nature trail system used year-round for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. The park features an 18-hole disc golf course, a natural sand swimming beach, and excellent fishing for pan fish and game fish from boats or shore. A full-service marina with boat launch, seasonal boat slips, and emergency storm shelter docks serves boaters. Additional amenities include six reservable picnic shelters that accommodate groups from 36 to 126 people, a conference room, playground, and scenic overlooks of the lake. The park is open year-round for day use from dawn to dusk and allows seasonal waterfowl and small game hunting by permit. This is a day-use facility with no overnight camping available. Reservations for picnic shelters can be made through ReserveAmerica up to 11 months in advance.
