Canoe-Picnic Point is the place to be! That is, if you have a boat or are like a fish in the water. You see, this secluded island on the St. Lawrence river, is well, an island. Automatic coolness factor, +10. The park is on Grindstone Island, which is one of the largest islands in the famous “Thousand Islands” area. (Rumored as one of the most beautiful places in the state). As you would expect, the boating and fishing is excellent and is what draws most people, but the island itself is quite pretty with picnic areas scattered about and secluded, forested campgrounds. Canoe-Picnic Point is a wonderful visit and only accessible by boat… how cool is that?

One of several state parks in the St. Lawrence River watershed; Cedar Island sets itself apart with distinguishing and unique features. Shall we elaborate? You can only get to Cedar Island via water--canoe, kayak, or something contraption with a motor that floats. The docks where you can park your rig are also are popular among fishermen trying to get into deeper water--where the big biters are! Being one of the oldest parks in the region, it is a bit more rustic and… lets just say, ”down to earth.” The shores of the island are the stuff that killer photos are made of, definitely set your alarm to catch the sunrise and sunset when you stay at Cedar Island!

Canoe-Picnic Point State Park

17. Canoe-Picnic Point State Park

30 sites · Thousand Island Park, New York
Canoe-Picnic Point is the place to be! That is, if you have a boat or are like a fish in the water. You see, this secluded island on the St. Lawrence river, is well, an island. Automatic coolness factor, +10. The park is on Grindstone Island, which is one of the largest islands in the famous “Thousand Islands” area. (Rumored as one of the most beautiful places in the state). As you would expect, the boating and fishing is excellent and is what draws most people, but the island itself is quite pretty with picnic areas scattered about and secluded, forested campgrounds. Canoe-Picnic Point is a wonderful visit and only accessible by boat… how cool is that?

Cedar Island State Park

18. Cedar Island State Park

One of several state parks in the St. Lawrence River watershed; Cedar Island sets itself apart with distinguishing and unique features. Shall we elaborate? You can only get to Cedar Island via water--canoe, kayak, or something contraption with a motor that floats. The docks where you can park your rig are also are popular among fishermen trying to get into deeper water--where the big biters are! Being one of the oldest parks in the region, it is a bit more rustic and… lets just say, ”down to earth.” The shores of the island are the stuff that killer photos are made of, definitely set your alarm to catch the sunrise and sunset when you stay at Cedar Island!

Waterfront camping, a sandy swimming beach, and lots of docks are a just a few of our favorite things (at Cedar Point)! This park is an ideal place to set up camp, have a picnic, and relax to the max. At times this Cedar Point Park will draw the crowds, but all of that just melts away when you catch sight of the sun setting over the St. Lawrence River.The river has fantastic fishing and will take you days to explore--so plan accordingly! Cedar Point is beautiful and convenient--a standby recipe for a great camping trip.

Burnham Point State Park

20. Burnham Point State Park

Burnham Point State Park is right on the St. Lawrence river and wonderfully peaceful. It’s ideal for boating, fishing, drinking a few, and grilling over a campfire. Peace and quiet is easy to find as the park’s quaint size lends itself to a more laid-back vibe. And while the park is best for lounging around or in the water, you’ll definitely want to voyage around to find several accessible islands, riverfront towns, and other adventure-friendly areas. Come here and file away a few river sunsets for the ol’ memory bank.
