Went early morning. A little deserted but beautiful. Looks like a great place to walk and take in the pretty views.

One of the nation's most polluted lakes is being restored. Honeywell is footing the bill for this massive cleanup. American bald eagles have returned as well as other fish and game.

A great place to visit. People from everywhere doing anything under the sun. Play grounds, sports, resturants and a great place to walk, run, or just get out and be social!

Lovely park offering some great views of the lake. Large parking lot with tons of spaces. There may be an entrance fee during the peak season ($8 or so) but there was no fee when I visited there in late September. I noticed some people fishing there, but I am not sure of the permit requirements. There is a large ane well-kept children play area there as well. The park also features a skate park, shuffleboard court, bocce ball court and volleyball court. If you walk further north along the lakeside, there is a marina there. Lots of trails and paths for walking, jogging, running or biking. You can also rent bikes, skates and quad-bikes there as well. I would love to return when the leaves change colors later on in the fall...

Nice park with a walking trail on the shore of Onondaga Lake. The park has a children's playground, skatepark & a couple fishing peers. The walking trail is very short for the lakes overall size. The park would be better with longer walking trails.
