About this campground
Sprawling across 950 acres on the upper Niagara River, Beaver Island State Park beckons outdoor enthusiasts with an impressive array of year-round adventures. Summer visitors can sink their toes into a half-mile stretch of sandy beach, launch their boats from the bustling 80-slip marina, or paddle along pristine waterways from dedicated canoe and kayak launches. The park's extensive trail system invites exploration by bike or on foot, while families gather at playgrounds and picnic areas scattered throughout the grounds. Sports enthusiasts can test their skills on the championship 18-hole disc golf course, traditional golf course, or friendly games at the athletic fields and horseshoe pits. When winter transforms the landscape, the park becomes a snowy playground for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding, with ice fishing and permitted snowmobiling adding to the seasonal thrills. The park's nature center serves as a gateway to understanding the local ecosystem, while seasonal waterfowl hunting permits offer specialized outdoor experiences.
Beaver Island State Park does not offer specific camping accommodations such as tent, RV, or cabin sites. The park is more focused on day-use activities and recreational opportunities.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at the historic River Lea house, where the walls echo with stories of presidential visits and family legacy. This elegant museum, now home to the Grand Island Historical Society, was built by William Cleveland Allen, whose famous cousin, President Grover Cleveland, was known to escape the pressures of political life with visits to this peaceful family farm. The preserved estate offers visitors a glimpse into the genteel river life of the late 19th century, when Grand Island served as a retreat for prominent families seeking respite along the Niagara River.

Natural Features and SceneryThe park's prime location along the upper Niagara River creates a stunning backdrop where powerful waters meet peaceful shores. Winding through dense woodlands, the park's nature trails reveal hidden glimpses of the river's majesty, while the waterfront areas showcase the raw beauty of one of North America's most significant waterways. The diverse landscape transitions from sandy beaches to shaded forest paths, offering visitors countless vantage points to appreciate the interplay between river and land that defines this unique natural sanctuary.
Geological RegionPerched at the southern tip of Grand Island, Beaver Island State Park occupies a strategic position in the upper Niagara River, where the powerful waterway begins its journey toward the famous falls. This unique location places the park at the intersection of major geological forces, where centuries of flowing water have carved and shaped the landscape into the recreational paradise visitors enjoy today.
