Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, Wilson-Tuscarora State Park offers a tranquil swimming experience.

The park also has picnic facilities, hiking trails, and fishing opportunities, making it a great destination for a full day of outdoor activities.
While Niagara Falls itself isn't suitable for swimming due to the powerful currents, the nearby Niagara Falls State Park offers a couple of swimming pools that are perfect for cooling off. The Oakes Garden Pool and the DeVeaux Woods Pool provide a more controlled environment for swimming, with lifeguards ensuring safety. After a swim, you can explore the park's numerous attractions, including the Cave of the Winds and the famous Maid of the Mist boat tour.
