We stopped at this park before we went to dinner. We walked thru it's a great park lots of places to sit and watch the boaters, kayakers and people watch. There were these really nice huge black iron swings to sit on and enjoy the water however they all need a bit of WD40 they all squeak pretty loudly. There was a walking path, a playground, a gazebo you can sit have lunch or dinner, a small roped off beach for swimmers, a boat launch, and great views of the lake. It was very peaceful and serene, a nice place to have ice cream after you purchase it across the street. We walked the length of it and just enjoyed the breeze and fresh air I'm sure its also a great place to watch the sunset. We enjoyed our time there and there was plenty of free parking everywhere in the area. A great place for a picnic next to the water on a beautiful summer day or night. Nice to look at the water from the surrounding restaurants as well.

I live in Canandaigua and never get tired of this view. Whether you’re on the water or driving the circle (hopefully with an ice cream cone from Scoops) you need to stop and take a look. They change with the seasons and the weather, but they are always a welcoming, familiar site. A must see if you’re on the Lake.

We have just returned from a few days getaway to Geneva, NY. We ended up at Twisted Rail Brewing. We mainly stopped because they are dog friendly. We were able to sit outside, have a beer and some wings. They were ready to follow all the rules with COVID. Tables cleaned, employees wearing masks including kitchen staff (masks & gloves) We had mainly bar food. (wings & onion rings) both were very good. Staff was polite and helpful. I'd advise if your in the area, give them a try.
