LOCATION

Bell Station property—town of Lansing, Tompkins County

DESCRIPTION

Located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, the Bell Station property features wooded hillsides overlooking the lake, extensive fields, and several small streams with cascading waterfalls. The FLLT recently acquired the site for conservation, which will greatly enhance public access to the east side of Cayuga Lake, which is 90% privately owned.

Now is your opportunity to learn more about the site, its resources, and its future. Join us for a moderate hike to explore this spectacular property, then stay for some refreshments. Free and open to all!
