THOUSAND ISLANDS REGION WELLESLEY ISLAND STATE PARK The Thousand Islands Region is teeming with camping areas on islands in the St. Lawrence River and at points along Lake Ontario and on the northern end of Lake Champlain. The largest camping complex in the region is Wellesley Island State Park. Many sites are secluded, accessible only on foot, and many are less-rugged tent/ trailer sites directly on the shore. The park also has rustic cabins and a dozen cottages available year-round. The park has a full service marina and four boat launches, and a sandy beach on the river offers great swimming and sunbathing. Be sure to check out the recreation barn and 9-hole golf course on the Island. One of the main attractions of the park is the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center, which includes a museum, varied habitats such as wooded wetlands, three miles of shoreline and open granite outcrops, and miles of trails for hiking, cross-country skiing and nature education. The nature center provides educational and recreational programs for all ages and includes a 1/4-mile trail usable by people with disabilities that includes access to picnic tables and the seasonal butterfly house. | 82 www.nysparks.com  http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/Camping/Wellesley%20Island%20State%20Park/r/campgroundDetails.do?subTabIndex=campDetail&contractCode=NY&parkId=240 http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/Camping/Wellesley%20Island%20State%20Park/r/campgroundDetails.do?subTabIndex=campDetail&contractCode=NY&parkId=240 http://www.nysparks.com
