Midway State Park, located in Maple Springs, New York, was established in 1898 by the Jamestown & Lake Erie Railway as a picnic ground.

At its origin, Midway Park offered a baseball field, dance pavilion and dining hall, and a sandy beach for bathing.

Midway State Park has been voted the Best Travel Destination in Chautauqua County by the readers of the Dunkirk Observer.
