Long Point State Park — Attraction in Town of Ledyard

Wonderful little park on the east side of Cayuga Lake near the town of Aurora. There's a boat launch, good parking area and a great playground for the kids, (and restrooms). It's a great park for a day visit. But our favorite part of the park is to rent out the cabin/ Cottage that is available for weekly rentals through Reserve America.com. The park is empty at night except for the cottage so you have a lot of privacy. With the cottage you have a dock, and you are right on the water. You have beach access. The park itself has been short staffed, so there's no lifeguards presently on duty. Sunsets are incredible. The cottage has a full bathroom w/shower. The kitchen full equipped with stove/oven, refrigerator w/ freezer, coffee maker, microwave and full sink to wash dishes. (need to bring own bedding and dishes/pans). Outside there are two picnic tables, a small grill for charcoal grilling, firepit, your own dock...

My husband and i with our 2 dogs spent a couple of hours at long point state park. There is a paved path that hugs the shore line which we walked on.

However, It was nice to just sit and watch the waves break on the shore. It wasn't crowded at all, possibly because it was the end of August and a week day. Another thing, my husband and i are 82 and 78 respectively, so there was no cost to enter the park. New York State parks evidently have a free pass to senior citizens from Monday through Friday . On weekends, there is a fee. This was the first time anyone told us about the free...

The park was very nice. Plenty of picnic tables, clean restroom, nice path to walk on around the park. I took off one star because the signs for the parking are a little unclear. We parked on the grass (which I believe was where we were supposed to be). There was no one to ask. I also took off that star because the hiking trails weren't as well maintained as I have seen them for other state parks. I did love the benches and picnic tables along the paths though. Overall a great place to spend...
