St. Lawrence-FDR Project Visitors Center

The Frank S. McCullough, Jr. Hawkins Point Visitors Center and Boat Launch offers panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River and state-of-the-art hands-on exhibits.

We offer many opportunities to learn about energy in a fun setting. You can hop on a bicycle generator and turn pedal power into electricity or have a hair-raising experience with static electricity using our Van de Graaff generator. Our audiovisual terrain map charts the course of the mighty St. Lawrence River from Ogdensburg to Massena.

Our Community Room and Theater are also available to outside groups, and together can comfortably hold 100 people. Throughout the year, we offer special programs and services to the public here, including free showings of popular movies.

We also invite you to enjoy the many other attractions near our power project. Call us at 315-764-0226, Ext 302 or 800-262-NYPA (NYS residents only) for more information on visitors center events or other questions.
