Seneca Lake State Park is located on 141 acres one mile east of Geneva, along the northern end of Seneca Lake. The City of Geneva reclaimed an area of brush, marsh and trees and developed a city park on the site in 1922. In 1935, bones, projectile points, and tool artifacts were found in the park, which archaeologists determined were from the pre-Iroquois Lamoka culture from about 4,000 years ago. Seneca Lake State Park was established in 1962.
The park has electrical hookups, pavilions, picnic areas with tables and fireplaces, playgrounds, playing fields, hot showers and flush toilets. There are seasonal boat slips and a boat-launching site.
