Henderson Harbor is nestled among three beautiful New York State Parks:

Robert G. Wehle State Park is the region’s newest park. The former estate of Mr. Wehle, the park boasts 1,100 acres and over 17,000 ft of spectacular Lake Ontario shoreline, with over 10 miles of hiking/mountain biking trails, a tennis court and picnic area.  http://www.nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=173

Westcott Beach State Park is a popular day-use and camping park on Lake Ontario, with rolling, wooded hills and open, grassy meadows sheltered by Henderson Bay. It offers restful campsites located on a bluff, from which the view is spectacular. A small marina is adjacent to the long, sandy beach to accommodate anglers. The park also has a children’s playground, picnic areas and hiking trails that do winter duty for cross-country skiing. http://www.nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=161

Southwick Beach State Park is spacious and popular, known for outstanding swimming and sunning on its long sandy beach. Campers and day-users enjoy picnicking, hiking and games on the playing fields. The park is adjacent to the Lakeview Wildlife Management Area, home to the environmentally-sensitive coastal sand dunes. Park nature, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails adjoin the wildlife management area and its trail system, which visitors are encouraged to use. During the winter, snowmobilers are permitted in the park. Deer hunting is allowed south of the park entrance in season. http://www.nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=154
