Marina

A large state park on the east shore of Seneca Lake with a spacious beach, 309-site campground, marina, playground, and recreation hall. The swimming beach is one of the best on any Finger Lake with a wide sandy shore and gradual entry. The campground has both tent and full-hookup RV sites. A naval station museum on the grounds tells the history of the WWII training base that once occupied the site. Bike paths connect the park areas and the marina rents boats. This is a full-service family vacation park.

A popular park on the north end of Seneca Lake, the deepest of the Finger Lakes, with a large splash pad, playground, marina, and lakefront walking paths. The splash pad is free with park admission and keeps younger kids entertained for hours. The marina offers boat rentals and the lakefront is great for fishing. Picnic pavilions and a concession stand make it easy to spend a full day. The park hosts family events throughout the summer. It is right next to downtown Geneva for ice cream and shopping.

Rent a pontoon boat and cruise Broken Bow Lake with the whole family. The lake is known for scuba-clear water and the Ouachita Mountain scenery is stunning from every angle. Pontoon boats are steady and spacious making them perfect for groups with small kids. You can swim off the back, fish, or just cruise the coves looking for wildlife. Half-day rentals are the best value and give you plenty of time to find a quiet cove and jump in. The marina also rents jet skis and tubes for older kids who want more speed.
