Our campsite at Four Mile Creek State Park, near Niagara Falls, NY was quite a change from the shores of Lake Huron.  No sand here---just lush grass!  The park has the feel of a city park: large expanses of lawn  with occasional trees for shade.  The campsites do not allow for much privacy but they are large so you are not right up against your neighbor.  And on weekdays (Wednesday and Thursday for us) there were many sites unused so we were at quite a distance from others.  One of the employees in the office told me that they had already had several weekends with every site (hundreds of them!) filled, and it's hard to imagine how different the campground would be when totally full.  It is apparently very popular with Canadians because it is so much less expensive than their provincial parks for camping, and it does get totally booked in July and August.

The lakeshore here was totally different from Lake Huron.  The beach is covered with smooth gray rocks and the trees and bushes run right up to the edge.  We hiked a short trail along the Four Mile Creek (4 miles from Fort Niagara, if I remember---the sight of a battle in the French and Indian Wars), but it was poorly marked and the vegetation made it tough to see where it went.  After lunch and a bit of relaxing, we tried another "trail" but this was even worse, just disappearing into brambles and tall grass---no blazes on trees and no clear path to follow.

From the state park, you can look across Lake Ontario to see Toronto in the distance.

Laundry done.  Two good campfires.  Lots of relaxing.  A good few days in New York State!
