About Buckhorn Island State Park

Grand Island's northern tip holds this 895-acre park, occupying land surrounded by water on an island within the Niagara River system. The acreage covers marshland and shoreline at the island's north end, giving the park its shape and location relative to the rest of Grand Island. It sits north of the town center, on the part of the island where the land meets the wider river.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
