With
a nominal admission fee you can enjoy an activity-filled day on Beautiful Canandaigua
Lake!
Located
on West Lake Rd. (County Rd. 16), Onanda is an exceptional and unique property
about 8 miles south of the City of Canandaigua. It is 80 acres, seven of which
are lakeside and includes 8 cabins, 2 pavilions, and 2 lodges available
for rent. The 73 acres of hillside running along Barnes Road contain a two-mile
hiking
path,
3 pavilions, 3 cabins, winter sledding and over-flow parking.
"Onanda"
is an Indian word meaning tall fir or pine, a symbol of strength and simplicity.
The park has a rich history including its original purpose as the YWCA Leisure
Time School, starting in the early 20th century, and the site
of
Camp
Good Days and Special Times. It was purchased in 1989 by a cooperative effort
of New
York
State and the Town of Canandaigua to improve recreational opportunities and public
access to a Finger Lake. It was opened in 1990 to the public. Fishing, swimming,
family picnics and gatherings have proven popular at this year round recreation
area.
Sorry, no alcohol, pets (other than seeing-eye dogs), rollerblades
or skateboards allowed in the Park. No bike riding permitted on lakeside. Also,
no watercraft of any kind permitted to launch from or dock at the park, except

Shore fishing is allowed year round. Boat Launching is only permitted
