This area is a very popular picnic and camping area. It is
located just east of NYSH 12 between the communities of Lyons
Falls and Glenfield. Take the Burdick Crossing Road east to
The Lyons Falls Road, CR 39. Take a right here and then a
left on the Fish Creek Road. The Singing Waters Park will be
a short distance down on the left.
This park has been open since 1957. The picnic area there
can accommodate well over 100 picnickers and overnight camping is
permitted in the area. The entire area has been reforested
in stages over the years and is now a very scenic setting.
There are two very nice bridges over the creek to the picnic area
and various promotional brochures for the area indicate that trout
abound in the stream.
The area is dedicated to the memory of Theodore Woolschlager.
He is noted as the first Lewis County forester and is considered
responsible for the planning of the picnic area.
The Fish Creek flows into the Black River just downstream
from Lyons Falls. The Black River joins Lake
Ontario just west of Watertown in Dexter, New York.
