Sodus, NY

Services: A,B,C,K,M,CC

Beechwood is 150 acres of undeveloped, unmarked land with 3,500 ft./1,067 m. of shoreline along Lake Ontario. It was, until a few years ago, a Girl Scout camp. To get there, take Lake Rd. in Sodus east just past Maxwell Rd. (You will see Maxwell Bay and Camp Beechwood indicated on some maps of the area.) Park in the small, unmarked parking area on the north side of Lake Rd. There are outhouses and lean-tos nearby. Maxwell/Salmon Creek, which can be canoed or kayaked, crosses under Lake Rd. and runs into the bay. This should be a great place to bird, especially during migration. Biking along Lake Rd. This is a wonderful place to picnic despite the lack of tables. See also http://footprintpress.com/paddling/SalmonCreek.htm.
