Robert Moses State Park (Massena)

Robert Moses State Park is located partly on the mainland and partly on Barnhart Island. Visitors reach the park through a tunnel under the Eisenhower Lock. The park is spacious, home to a large variety of flora and fauna and offers a multitude of recreational opportunities, including wooded campsites and cabins, a marina and boat launch, some of the best fishing in the Northeast, picnic areas, a swimming beach, tennis courts and a year round nature center. The nature center also offers holiday, special events and school outreach programs. The park’s nature, hiking and cross-country skiing trails wind through fields, forests and wetlands, with overlooks showcasing spectacular views. In winter, the park also welcomes snowmobilers.

Under the Eisenhower Lock

The road out to the Robert Moses State Park and Moses-Saunders Dam goes under the Eisenhower Lock. If you drive under it when they are emptying or filling the lock, you can actually hear the water rushing through the pipes of the lock.
