Just 8.3 miles from Alexandria Bay, the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center is one of the largest nature centers in the state park system and in New York State. Poised on a pristine 600- acre peninsula of Wellesley Island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, the nature center offers 8 miles of hiking trails with scenic vistas of the Thousand Islands and 7 miles of cross country ski trails.

The nature center has dock located in Eel Bay allowing boaters access to the center and a place for patrons to fish.
