Russell Station Slater Creek Park
Beach Ave
Fishing access and hiking trails where Slater Creek empties into Lake Ontario. There is a bathroom and ample parking. Lots of fishermen in the evening until sunset when the mosquitos drive them away. The park is adjacent to the Russell Station power plant so it is not a romantic site with lots of picnic groves and scenic views. It is all about getting down to business whether that means fishing for salmon in the creek or trawling for in the woods.

- Hours:It's open all the time. The best time I have found for cruising has been early and mid-mornings and after dark during the warm weather months.
- Cruising Info/ Tips:Great spot that is just starting to catch on. Very safe cruising. Can car cruise in the parking lot, or take a walk into the woods. I have never seen anyone cruising in the bathrooms but I suppose you could. There are no picnickers, no kids, no families to worry about. Just fishermen minding their own business, and guys cruising.
- Nudity / Policy:No public nudity.
- Wheelchair Accessible:No / Not very accessible off the parking lot. The trails are dirt and can get overgrown.
- Warnings:None, just keep it cool and this will be a great spot for years to come.
