A decent nature park easily accessible from Route 13 near Ithaca. The trails are relatively short but offer nice scenery throughout the moderate terrain. Note that dogs aren't allowed, which might disappoint some visitors. The modest elevation changes make it suitable for families, though the admission fee and parking costs add up.
