Overview

About

A trip to Wellesley Island State Park is so much more than a three hour tour. A fisherman’s paradise, the island boasts some of the best bass, pike and muskie fishing in the region, along with a full service marina and numerous boat launches. If putting worms on the hook isn’t your thing, soak up the sun and splash in the water at the swimming beach; play a round of golf or hang back at your campsite or cabin. The Minna Anthony Common Nature Center is a sweet way to explore too! With pristine shoreline, wooded wetlands and granite outcroppings with sick views, you might just pull a Gilligan and stay forever.
