Stewart Park Trailhead

Ithaca, New York 14850, United States

Created By: Friends of Stewart Park

Information

The trailhead to your left is one of six on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. Completed in 2010, the Trail has had a transformative effect on Stewart Park, bringing more and more visitors to enjoy the park’s lakefront promenade before continuing down the eight-mile trail bordering the Cayuga Lake inlet from Stewart Park to the Allan H. Treman State Marine Park. It is a popular destination for joggers, cyclists, and walkers both for recreation and transportation.

Take a moment to read the trailhead’s interpretive panel, then turn your gaze out to the lake. You are looking at the location of an old steamboat landing, humming with activity as the advent of the Erie Canal in the 1820’s transformed the southern end of Cayuga Lake into a busy shipping port.
