Onanda Park

Located along County Road 16, Onanda Park is the largest park in the Town of Canandaigua, offering visitors a beautiful setting for outdoor recreation in every season. The park spans both a 7-acre lakeside area along Canandaigua Lake and a 73-acre upland hillside, creating a diverse landscape of waterfront views and forested trails. The lakeside portion is a popular gathering place during the warmer months, featuring a swimming beach, bath house, playgrounds, pavilions, and picnic areas. Families and groups often gather here to enjoy fishing, swimming, and lakeside picnics, making it a favorite summer destination for locals and visitors alike. Above the shoreline, a two-mile hiking trail winds through the wooded hillside, giving visitors a chance to explore natural surroundings. Onanda Park also transforms with the seasons. During winter, the uplands become a hub for sledding, snowshoeing, and other cold-weather activities for those eager to embrace the Finger Lakes outdoors year-round. Onanda Park features 15 cabins, five pavilions, and three lodges, making it a versatile destination for day visits, group events, and overnight stays.
