App Guided Driving Tours
No reservations Needed!
In light of all the changes that have come about in 2020 involving safety and social distancing, we have decided to offer a another way for our guests to Discover Deer Haven Park and all of its magnificent wildlife and rich military history.
On June 27, 2020, Deer Haven Park began offering App Guided Auto Tours through the Park! (See Dates and Hours below)
Our free, cross-platform app will put the Tour-Guide in your mobile device! You'll see illustrations and hear some of the rich history of the former Seneca Army Depot as you follow a pre-determined route through the park. You will be driving in the comfort of your own vehicle on former military and local roads that have not been driven on by the general public in nearly 80 years!
You’ll witness the ammunition storage igloos, gunpowder buildings, and rail-car loading platforms used by the US Army to load and offload bombs and ammunition for use overseas during WWII, the first Gulf War and every military confrontation in between. You will see evidence of civilian farm life prior to 1940, and of course, you will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Majestic Seneca white deer and American Bald Eagles that reside at Deer Haven Park!
Please Note, for safety and liability reasons,
VISITORS MUST REMAIN IN THEIR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON THE AUTO TOUR

BEWARE of Bad Directions!
THE PROBLEM-
When you type Deer Haven Park into your mobile device or GPS unit for directions, you will often be given an "alternate route" through the former Depot. If the route includes "W. Romulus Rd.", "E. Patrol Rd." or "W. Patrol Rd." DON'T TAKE IT! There is NO entrance to Deer Haven Park on NY-96 and NO public route across the former military base. Because Deer Haven Park is on part of the former Seneca Army Depot, the GPS program thinks you can drive through it. Unfortunately, you can not.
THE SOLUTION-
Instead, take one of the other routes. OR Enter Sampson State Park into your device. We are located on NY-96A, (not 96) just 2 miles North of Sampson State Park.
