About Reservoir State Park

Reservoir State Park is a 132-acre park in the Town of Lewiston, just north of the city of Niagara Falls, on the south shore of the Robert Moses Power Plant Reservoir. It is owned by the New York Power Authority and run by State Parks. Most visitors come to play: there are five softball diamonds, soccer fields, a driving range, tennis, basketball and pickleball courts, a playground, a nature trail and an overlook of the reservoir. In winter the sledding hill and a warming hut take over.
