Beechwood Park is an ecological gem, 45 minutes from downtown Rochester, on the shores of Lake Ontario near Sodus Point. Operated for many years as a Girl Scout camp, the property was purchased by New York State about 4 years ago and added to the State Parks system. It will be opened to the general public when a management plan for the property is completed. The Park includes a half mile of Lake shoreline, including Maxwell Bay, an estuary marsh at the mouth of Salmon Creek,. The site has it all-wetlands, majestic old growth beech trees, pine plantations, a stream, lake vistas and open space to roam and enjoy.
