Lago Oneida, migliori spiagge

Upon arriving at this location, I quickly realized that the parking lot on the water side is extremely small and limited. So, I parked across the street in a tiny, unknown lot and walked over. I was pleasantly surprised by the natural view of the water. There was a beautiful pavilion and a gorgeous big willow tree overlooking the water. It was literally one of my favorite visits... until I noticed the grass was completely coated in dog poop. While I understand that the location isn't responsible for the poop, it was overwhelming and unpleasant. Perhaps more signs encouraging people to pick up after their pets would help? There was a bathroom at the location, which was amazing because I'm constantly traveling and always looking for easily accessible restrooms. I'm here to tell you this was the nicest bathroom I've ever seen at a local park. Period. I was happily surprised with the rest stop! However, when I returned on a Sunday evening to watch the sunset, the restrooms were locked. So, they must only be open during specific work hours, which is understandable. There was a porta potty nearby for emergencies, which was nice. The actual beach portion is very small, so I wouldn't recommend it for tanning or adults, but it is roped off and safe for kids to splash around in. Lastly, I saw a sign for a splash pad being built, which is exciting! Splash pads are great, especially if they are enclosed for safety purposes since it is so close to the water. Overall, this location is awesome. I saw a birthday party going on, which was great. There was a fishing pier where I sat and watched the sunset, and it was breathtaking. Besides the poop, which is the fault of humans, I love this park and will be back over and over again.

We practically lived at this beach all summer. We're definitely considering getting season passes for next year. Whether you're swimming, relaxing on the beach, fishing, riding rides, playing games, going to the playground, or eating, there's always something to do at this small park. And just outside of the park, there are shops, bars, candy stores, wine slushies, ice cream stands, and gift shops. It's free to enter, but parking inside the amusement park/beach is $10.

Stunning view, and the swings are back. However, the baby swings are oddly positioned just an inch off the ground, requiring them to be looped around the top, which is a slight inconvenience. The park features separate playgrounds for older children and toddlers, both of which are very well-maintained. I genuinely love this park, but I had to deduct stars because during my last two visits, the entire park was swarming with flies and mayflies. I understand it's that time of year, but the beach was covered in organic debris that not only smelled bad but was also attracting a lot of flies. In the morning, all the playground equipment was covered with them. While they are harmless, it's still quite unpleasant. I hope that if the beach gets cleaned up a bit, the fly situation will improve and the smell will be less intense.
