Coles Creek State Park has wooded and open campsites near a swimming beach on Lake St. Lawrence. The lake is ideal for boating and fishing as well. A marina on the mouth of Coles Creek lies just north of the park entrance. The park also has a playground, playing fields and a large pavilion that can accommodate up to 150 people.
Swimming
1. Coles Creek State Park offers a designated swimming area on the St. Lawrence River.
2. Lifeguards are present during summer months for safety.
3. The park provides changing facilities near the beach area.
4. Swimming is only allowed when lifeguards are on duty due to strong currents in the river.
5. No diving or jumping from bridges, docks, or other structures into water is permitted at any time.

Boating
The park offers a wide range of boating options for visitors. There is a boat launch site and docks available, making it easy to access the water with your own vessel. Additionally, rowboat rentals are offered if you don't have your own equipment. The waters around the park are ideal for both motorized and non-motorized boats including canoes or kayaks.
Fishing
Enjoy fishing in the serene waters, home to Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch. Boat rentals are available too.

In winter months, ice-fishing is a popular activity with Walleye being a common catch.

Families can enjoy shoreline fishing for species like Bullhead Catfish or Rock Bass from designated areas.

For those seeking more adventure, deep water angling offers chances of catching Muskellunge and Lake Trout.



Picnicking
Coles Creek State Park offers numerous picnic areas with tables and grills, some overlooking the St. Lawrence River for scenic views.
Bicycling
Biking enthusiasts should be aware that the park offers several miles of paved roads for leisurely rides. However, it's important to note there are no designated mountain biking trails available within this area.

While cycling is permitted on these routes, riders must share them with pedestrians and motorized vehicles alike. Therefore, caution is advised when navigating through traffic or around corners.

Remember too that helmets are mandatory in New York State for cyclists under 14 years old - safety first!

Also keep in mind seasonal changes; during winter months some areas may not be suitable due to snowfall or icy conditions.

Lastly, always respect wildlife you might encounter while pedaling along - remember we're sharing their home!
