Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands

Robert Moses State Park Thousand Islands is truly a unique slice of nature. This 2,322 acre park stretches across part of New York’s mainland as well as Barnhart Island. Located in the gorgeous Thousand Island region, this state park is situated in the St. Lawrence River just south of the Canadian border. Your four legged friend will absolutely love exploring this natural space.

The park is accessed by going through a tunnel under Eisenhower Lock. Not only is it a great spot to enjoy Mother Nature, the park is also jam packed with pawsome amenities. Two legged visitors flock to this park for swimming and relaxing on the beach. Tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts are also pupular. There’s a marina and boat launch for those who want to venture out on the water and a playground for the little ones.

Since canine visitors are not allowed in the swimming or picnic areas, it’s a good thing this park has some beautiful trails that wind through forests, open fields, and wetlands. The Mohawk Trail and Scotch Pines Trail are both under a mile, so combine the two for a nice easy walk with your pooch. Stroll along the River Trail so your pup can enjoy views of Robinson Bay. Ski Trail is another great option. It connects with some of the other trails to form a loop. Your dog won’t be the only critter in these parts. While hiking, keep your eyes open for deer, woodchucks, raccoons, and beavers.

Your pup will love this place so much that they’ll want to stay an extra day, so bring some sleeping bags and grab a spot in the campground. RV and tent sites are available. Restrooms are located throughout the park. Be sure to carry plenty of water and clean up bags while exploring the trails. No bones about it, this park will make your dog one happy hound!
