About Battle Island State Park
Battle Island State Park covers 235 acres on the west bank of the Oswego River north of Fulton. Its main draw is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by Devereux Emmett, with river views from several fairways. Greens fees run $22 on weekdays and $25 on weekends for 18 holes, and tee times are booked by phone. The park takes its name from a 1756 French and Indian War skirmish on a nearby island, and its trails are used for cross-country skiing in winter.
