Confirmed from Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands' 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.

“Fun, learning center, live and stuffed animals, well maintained grounds, walking trails, beaches, picnic tables, a small gift shop/camping supplies, and a playground.”
“Beautiful weather w/ 70°s during the day and upper 40s at night.”
“Cabin 1 at Robert Moses State Park offers a serene retreat, tucked away from the other cabins, providing ample privacy and a sense of seclusion.”
Beautiful beach ! I went in October on a Thursday morning - no charge to enter park . I arrived at 720am and all fields had a solid number of cars; still plenty of parking as there are 5 fields . I parked in field 5 with an extremely short walk to the beach . The beach itself was clean and well taken care of .
Great post summer camping with only 12% of sites occupied. Beautiful weather w/ 70°s during the day and upper 40s at night. The site 55 that I was in had a side view of ships and barges going into and out of the lock from the west side. Lots of areas to hike, bike or run. Lots of water for boating,etc.
Beautiful! I recommend checking out the nature center if you haven't already. Behind the center there are nice, well maintained walking trails suitable for everyone. L
The Massena, NY one btw: Loved going here! So many things to do for free. Fun, learning center, live and stuffed animals, well maintained grounds, walking trails, beaches, picnic tables, a small gift shop/camping supplies, and a playground. You can even bring your dog. Come say hi to Jabba the Toad.
