Confirmed from Beaver Island State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Beach along Niagara River that's part of a sprawling park with a marina.

We attended the WNY Hydrocephalus walk. Such a great place to hold and event!
Great beaches and fishing! Tons to explore. Great place to walk your pup!
Very pretty. There is a canoe/kayaking area, BBQ area, lagoon trail, and bird houses.
Terrific place to hike, walk, jog, walk dogs. The beach is well groomed and well looked after. The boardwalk is a perfect setting to overlook the area. If your looking for a place for a family picnic this is it. Lots of parking spaces and room to move around
