Things To Do
Seb's Green Shutters
Looking for a quick bite? This is your place! Delicious fried chicken sandwiches, burgers and milkshakes. Oh, and did we mention everything on the menu can be made gluten-free?!
Tom Thumb Drive In
Another one of our favorite spots in town for a sweet treat. It even has a mini golf course attached! Fun fact: My mom used to work here serving up soft serve ice cream back in 1978.
Emerson Park
The park features beaches, playgrounds, boat launches, disk golf, a dog park, The Merry-Go Round Theater and the beautiful Emerson Park Pavilion. Fun fact: Adam Fox, a New York Ranger, got married here in July 2024.
Owasco Paddles
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding at Emerson Park on Owasco Lake!
