About Tomoka State Park

The Indians lived and still live in this lagoon rich in fish that has been filled for thousands of years, and today the water is popular for canoeing, boating and fishing. The Indians live and work in the fish-filled lagoons of Tomoka State Park, a popular tourist attraction in upstate New York.

The park is protected as an endangered species by the New York State Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC).

Visitors can stroll through the hardwood hammocks that were once home to a variety of birds and a number of other wildlife in the park.

A boat ramp allows boaters and canoeists to access the river and there are campsites for tents and youth for overnight stays in the park.
