Kershaw Park
Canandaigua's north-end lakefront park with a lifeguarded swimming beach, public dock, kayak launch, and July 4th fireworks
Kershaw Park occupies a nine-acre stretch of Lakeshore Drive at the north end of Canandaigua Lake, adjacent to the city pier and the Canandaigua Lady boarding point. The park was completed in 1906 at the direction of city planners who modeled it as a public swimming school. Today the park includes a bathhouse, public dock, small craft launch, gazebo, walking paths, and picnic areas. The lakefront location makes it the most practical free public viewpoint in the city for the Ring of Fire Labor Day weekend celebration. July 4th fireworks are launched from the park. Parking is free; the swimming area operates with a lifeguard in summer; the walking paths and dock are accessible year-round.
