Best places: Parks in Monroe County, United States

Remote park with 7 islands featuring abundant marine & bird life, plus a 19th-century fort.

👍👍 I absolutely loved this place. The trail is a bit challenging (especially the metal stairs which were well-maintained). Poor signage (lack of signage) resulted in my ending up in an adjacent neighborhood .6 miles from the parking lot. The spring, waterfalls, wetlands, and wildlife made it worth the...

👍👍 This was my first time camping with an available ELECTRIC OUTLET! And it was GREAT! We camped at Blue Gill- a partially electrified campground. The first night was frigid outside, but we brought an electric blanket! CAMPING! The next day was very warm, so we used a box fan! My mind was blown. The s...

😠 The place was beautiful but as soon as it got packed the US Marshals showed up and started ticketing people for anything they could, especially out of town visitors. Also, beware, there is. $3 fee to visit this National Park and if you fail to see the sign with the 3 inch letters (as my out of town...

Undersea park with vibrant marine life on view via snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tours & kayaking.

Recreation area with athletic fields, picnic shelters, playgrounds & a splash pad, plus a dog park.

👍👍 Quick stop on our route. Cute little baby for morning or evening stroll. Great to see the winter bridge that connects Webster and Irondequoit.

Marine education facility offers all levels of swimming with the dolphins in a natural lagoon.

👍👍 Amazing hidden place in the hills along the lake. Large meadow and picnic area for a sunny afternoon lunch. Steep hiking trails to top of cliffs can be a fun challenge, but the views are totally worth it. Nice place for a quick break and exploring for the afternoon.

👍👍 Best camping and boat ramp on Monroe in my opinion. Clean areas everywhere, people are nice, plenty of dock area and deep ramp takeoff. We visit frequently.

👍👍 Beautiful and such an amazing place to hike. Great changes in elevation and the trails are pretty easy to follow. Pate Hollow trail is the main trail.

👍👍 We have our Family Reunion here every year! It is a beautiful park with beautiful landscape and Walking trails that are equally beautiful. I love this park!

👍👍 This park is like a small hidden getaway. It has a small playground, walking trail, pond to fish, and basketball court. The best part is the garden rental plots available to the public for rent. Raised beds as well as plot in the ground. They provide all the tools needed to become a successful garde...

State park once home to a luxury resort now offers bonefishing, canoeing, and hiking.

Deserted 11-acre island with ruins of an 1800s town & reefs for snorkeling, accessible by boat.

👍 Beautiful view, and the parking lot is right on the water. My dog had a blast chasing sticks and splashing around! It was a little dirty though, and there was a lot of broken glass and trash scattered around near the water. It seems like it’s more of a fishing or kayaking spot than a place to hang o...

👍👍 Incredible state park located just 15 minutes from Indiana University. Tons of activities such as hiking, boating, fishing, picnic areas. There is something for everyone here. Lake Monroe is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s large enough for boats! If you don’t have a blast, you can rent one here!...
