Russell Station Slater Creek Park

Fishing access and hiking trails where Slater Creek empties into Lake Ontario. There is a bathroom and ample parking. Lots of fishermen in the evening until sunset when the mosquitos drive them away. The park is adjacent to the Russell Station power plant so it is not a romantic site with lots of picnic groves and scenic views. It is all about getting down to business whether that means fishing for salmon in the creek or trawling for in the woods.

Best time
It's open all the time.
Watch out
None, just keep it cool and this will be a great spot for years to come.

The guide

Where exactly

Take 390 North to Eastbound Lake Ontario State Parkway. Follow Parkway 2-3 miles to Greenleaf Road. Left onto Greenleaf. Follow all the way to the end to the T that's Beach Ave. Left onto Beach Ave and the parking lot will be 100 yards on the left. From downtown, take Lake Avenue north to Charlotte. Lake Ave ends at Beach Ave. Turn Left and go approximately 1 mile to the parking area for Slater Creek on your left.

When to go

It's open all the time. The best time I have found for cruising has been early and mid-mornings and after dark during the warm weather months.

Etiquette

Great spot that is just starting to catch on. Very safe cruising. Can car cruise in the parking lot, or take a walk into the woods. I have never seen anyone cruising in the bathrooms but I suppose you could. There are no picnickers, no kids, no families to worry about. Just fishermen minding their own business, and guys cruising.

Nudity: No public nudity.

Safety

None, just keep it cool and this will be a great spot for years to come.
