Fishing

 

Located between Lewiston and the NYPA Power Vista, Artpark State Park has over a mile of river shoreline.

 

A network of trails lead anglers down to the river's edge in a few locations. A stairway near the parking area off South 4th Street offers anglers the easiest access to the river's edge. 

 

While Artpark anglers do catch some salmon during the peak of the salmon run, this site is better known for quality steelhead fishing opportunity from November through April. In addition, the area at the base of the aforementioned stairs is the top river site for smelt dipping in April.
