About Canoe-Picnic Point State Park

Seventy acres make up this park, set on Grindstone Island in the St. Lawrence River. The land occupies a stretch of the island within the Town of Clayton, bordered by the river's water on all sides. Access to the site means crossing the river to reach the island itself, since the park sits apart from the mainland.

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