Stewart Park
A lakeside park on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, with lawns, weeping willows and a vintage carousel. It is an ideal spot to watch the lake and the sunset.
Stewart Park lies at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. It has wide lawns and willows lining the shore. The park retains a carousel from the 1950s, a historic boathouse and a dance pavilion. In summer there are a playground and a splash plaza. This is the easiest place in Ithaca to enjoy the view of Cayuga Lake and the sunset. It connects to the Cayuga Waterfront Trail, which can be walked or biked to the Farmers Market. Entry is free, but swimming in the lake is not allowed.
