Picnic tables along the St. Lawrence River in Robert Moses State Park
'Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands' is a
New York state park located on Barnhart Island and the mainland in the
St. Lawrence River and adjacent parts of the Town of
Massena in
St. Lawrence County. The park is north of the
Village of Massena. The park is at the international boundary between the United States and
Canada.
The park is named after long-time controversial New York Parks Commissioner
Robert Moses, who created many of the state parks in New York. It is one of two state parks in New York to bear his name. The other,
Robert Moses State Park - Long Island, is in southern New York on
Fire Island.
A sign near the entrance of the park notes the location where the
45th parallel crosses through the park. The park is just north of the
Eisenhower Locks, part of the
Saint Lawrence Seaway.
The park offers a beach, picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, recreation programs, a nature trail, hiking trails through woods and wetlands, fishing, a boat launch and marina, a campground with tent and trailer sites, cabins, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, a museum and a food concession.
