Evangola State Park

What an absolutely worthless disc golf course.
First off, it’s hard to find the first hole. There are no signs, maps (aside from the chicken scratch one you can get a handout of from the pay booth), or throwing pads. There are just the blue, white and red markers, which while they’ve been freshly painted, are still pretty hard to find.
Second, the place was a marsh! It’s been sunny for 2 days, it could have drained, but the location is just too low. It was so bad, I myself gave up after a few holes and went to enjoy the beach (which is actually pretty cool) because it was awful and my eBook on my phone was way more enjoyable. I understand it only got worse from the ones who went on without me.
Third, the course is not laid out like the designer knew how to play disc golf. It was as if someone had been like «Oh, Beaver Island has things like this, let’s do this.» But Beaver Island is strategic. Those baskets are placed with the curve and throwing technique of discs in mind. Someone at Evangola heard «golf» in disc golf and made an entire course that’s bat shit crazy. It’s not even technical – it’s just bad.
For disc golf, it’s not worth the $ 7 to get in. Screw it.
For a family outting on the beach and you need a place to kayak or launch your boat? Knock yourself out; the beach line is gorgeous with fantastic scenery, sandy beaches, and cliffs in the distance. You can swim, boat, or paddle. It’s great. Just terrible for disc golf, I won’t be going back.

Traveling with cats Boston to LA: DAY 2
Very nice, large, lake side park with fine camping facilities.
Despite the fact that we failed to understand that although pets are welcome at there park they are Not welcome in yurts and the beaches were closed, we would have been happy to sit on the broad lawns and stroll along the bluffs framing the shores of Lake Erie and leave the cats in the car for two nights.
Sadly, we felt Yurt #1 had a toxic fume problem and had to leave a day early.
I suspect something was recently varnished and despite leaving the windows open and fan on, by the morning my lungs hurt and I couldn’t breathe inside.
The supervisor, Mr. Brown reported there have been no other complaints besides mine so maybe I’m super sensitive? He was kind enough to assure me he’d OK my request for a refund but I anticipate reserve America may not be so understanding…
I’ve debated posting this review because I really do strive to be an objective Unilocaler and this issue may be my own personal issue, but I do feel it’s not a healthy environment if you have asthma or small children I do not think you want to sleep here.
Fumes aside, this set up is super comfy and handsome. Fridge, microwave bunk beds, indoor picnic table and outside BBQ pit– even a couch and ceiling fan! If you don’t smell varnish, you will love it.

After six years and this place still looks the same. Took a stroll down there with one of my friends. We had a great walk by the water, but seeing dead fish every ten steps was not the ideal walk I was hoping for. Also there is so much shells on the ground, it made the walking even more interesting. We were making crunchy music with our feet, I purposely stepped on them. What I loved most though, was the sound of the water. It sounded so good, I recorded it and making it my sleeping melody. After the walk we brought out chairs and sat facing the water just listening to the sound of the waves, and sipped on some wine. Never felt so relaxed on a Monday, the start to the stress week. So i conclude by saying that a little bit of cleaning at the area is definitely a must, because it is definitely a nice place to sit kick back and relax.

This is a large, wooded state park that fronts on Lake Erie. It has a soft, sandy swimming beach with a very gradual slope. According to NRDC’s «Testing the Waters: New York», this beach has the best water quality in Erie County (and many of our beaches are poor), so a great place for kids to swim. 7% of water samples here failed last year, versus 32% failure rate for Woodlawn Beach. The beach seems to be less busy than other Erie County beaches, probably because it is a little further away from the city.
Like most NYS parks, there is a $ 6 per vehicle per day gate fee to drive into the park.
The park has a many wooded picnic shelters on a bluff overlooking the lake. Plumbed restrooms in three locations. There is a campground with 80 camp sites and one cabin. Other amenities: basketball, baseball, horse shoes, volleyball, a nice playground over sand, frisbee golf (but boring layout). Main beach house is a little run down, and there are no concessions.
Compared to many beach parks in the area, there is a lot more to do here if you want to get out of the sun. Very friendly, relaxed, place to spend an afternoon or a camping weekend.
