About this park

A sprawling waterfront park along Onondaga Lake with paved walking paths, a separate wheeled-vehicle lane, and a fenced dog park among its many amenities. Owners walk loops of several miles from the Willow Bay lot toward the marina, with restrooms at intervals and a path that bans bikes and skates for quieter going. Restrooms are seasonal, so confirm before a winter visit.

Before you go

Use the bikes-and-skates-prohibited path for a calmer walk with a reactive or older dog. Start from the Willow Bay lot for the longest uninterrupted stretch toward the marina.
