Cape Vincent Playground

Right on the St. Lawrence River, this playground sits in one of the most scenic spots in Jefferson County. The Recreation Park surrounds it, and you’re a short walk from the Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse — which the kids will want to check out after they’re done playing. Channel Marker 243 is practically in your backyard here, so the whole visit has that waterfront feel you don’t really get at your average town playground. Families coming through Cape Vincent already stop for the scenery; this is just a good reason to stay a little longer.
