Overview
Description
Fair Haven Beach State Park has one of the finest public lakefronts in upstate New York, with high bluffs above sandy beaches and hilly woodlands. The park features 1,500 feet of beautiful sandy beach including 600 feet of guarded swimming area. Inland, Sterling Pond and Creek are centrally located amongst the geological transition between wood and water. Campsites and cabins are nestled within the gently rolling woodlands. Fishing and boating opportunities are plentiful in Lake Ontario and the adjoining Little Sodus Bay.
Geography:
Fair Haven Beach State Park is located in upstate New York on the Lake Ontario shoreline.
Recreation:
Considered a flagship facility, visitors here enjoy sunbathing, swimming and diving boards, biking, boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking, and camping. Winter snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing are very popular.
Facilities:
Park facilities include two sandy beaches for sunbathing and swimming. Boat rentals include canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards, which are only for use on the inland Sterling Pond. Three separate campgrounds (Bluff – 44 electric sites and one centralized restroom with showers, Drumlin – 125 non-electric sites and three centralized restrooms with showers, Lakeview Area – 12 non-electric sites, two electric sites, one cabin, one restroom with no showers, and another restroom with four individual units with a shower, toilet, and sink) and a 30-unit cabin colony that contains a centralized restroom building with showers. Two additional cabins, and four cottages, make up the self-contained units. A ball filed, hiking trail, camp store, concession, five picnic areas, and three shelters (one heated), are also offered as an attraction to patrons. With fantastic scenic views and an 18 hole golf course this makes for a unique and accommodating destination.
