Ellicott Island Park offers a seasonal kayak launch off Ellicott Creek Road with a paved parking lot, providing access to Tonawanda Creek for paddling enthusiasts.

The 165-acre park features approximately 15 acres on Ellicott Island itself with multiple water access points and meandering trails, though the island is primarily managed as an off-leash dog park.

Fishing opportunities are available along both Ellicott Creek and Tonawanda Creek shorelines, with the park offering various amenities including picnic shelters and facilities.
