Sodus Bay, NY
Harbor town on Lake Ontario
Sodus Bay sits about 25 minutes north of NorWin Campground, where Wayne County meets the south shore of Lake Ontario. It's a working harbor town with a small downtown, a historic lighthouse, and a deep protected bay that draws boaters, anglers, and weekend cruisers. An easy half-day trip from camp, and a great place to catch the sunset over the lake.

Chimney Bluffs State Park
A short drive east of Sodus Bay, Chimney Bluffs is a dramatic stretch of clay spires rising 150 feet straight out of Lake Ontario, carved by wind and water. A 1.5-mile bluff-top trail follows the formations with steady lake views — best in the late afternoon when the light hits the spires.
