Oquaga Creek State Park is a state park in Broome County and Delaware County, near their border with Chenango County, in the U.S. state of New York. The park is partially in the Town of Masonville and partly in the Town of Sanford. Broome County Road 241 passes through the park.
Park description
Oquaga Creek State Park has 90 campsites, one full-service cottage, and several "rustic" cabins.[3] A limited number of seasonal campsites are also available.[4] There are six miles (9.7 km) of hiking trails which offer views of wildlife such as deer, weasels, and various birds, in addition to wild plants such as wild blueberries and wild grapes.[3][5] Many of the campsites are lined with raspberry bushes and wild strawberries.
Arctic Lake, with a surface area of 55 acres (0.22 km2), is available for fishing, and its beach is open to swimmers. In the winter, the lake is used for ice fishing and skating.[3]
The park was closed for camping during the 2010 season due to New York State's budget shortfalls, however the park's campground re-opened in summer 2011.
The park also includes a nine-hole disc golf course, built in 1979.[6]
