Wilson-Tuscarora State Park — Attraction in Town of Wilson

I was surprised today how many people were there (Sunday) swimming, kayaking...it was pretty cool! After soooo many months staying home because if covid ..I just hope everyone stays safe, distancing outside, masks inside or large groups...but beautiful day, water was nice! Sail boats, fishing boats, her skis, picnics...ahhh.....summer! Fir me nice bench in shade, guitar, glass of wine....😌 I would like to add this but if personal history; When we were kids (1950's) this was a farm.

On clear days you can also clearly spot the skyline of Toronto on the other side of the lake. Summers are full of life and great for beach side activities like kayaking and swimming and the nearby Creek is very inviting. The park area is great for running and/or children to play.
