FIG. 1 view of the rocks at Ontario Park -- note that the water is
about knee deep at the rocks.

NY 364 E Lake Rd.  Turn right onto NY 364 South at sign for
"Canandaigua Lake Resort Area" and travel 3.0 miles
south.  The parking lot appears on your right across from Angela Way. 
This is after Turner Rd but before County Rt 1.  Launch faces west
into Canandaigua Lake

exposure  to N, NW and W wind directions than Kershaw Park

Notes:  parking right at water -- very convenient no gear carry.
