Sampson State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sampson State Park (along with Sampson State Park Beach) is located in Seneca County, New York in the USA. The Park was once a Naval training station, then an Air Force base. It is also located next to the former Seneca Army Depot, a munitions storage site. Some buildings were removed but the roads remain, leaving a network of 38 miles of paved trails in a wooded 3-square-mile area. It also features a Naval museum, located in the original "brig."

Many people enjoy coming to Sampson State Park for the museum, camping, swimming and to remember their days spent at Sampson.

The park is south of Geneva, NY in the Town of Romulus on the east shore of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes.
