Take the Virtual Tour! - KRING POINT STATE PARK Kring Point State Park is a narrow peninsula whose south shore faces Goose Bay and north shore faces the St. Lawrence River. Standing anywhere in the park, visitors see water and many of the 1700 islands for which the region is named. Half of the park's 100 campsites are on the waterfront, and virtually every cabin and campsite has a river or bay view. The park has docks on the river and the bay and a sandy beach on the St. Lawrence. Fishing, boating, swimming, and picnicking are major activities. During the winter, visitors cross-country ski. |
