The Lakeland Trail is a great place to find solitude. It is lightly traveled, natural surfaced trail in a wooded area near I690 and Onondaga Lake in Lakeland NY. There is a small creek that runs alongside the trail, making it a haven for wildlife.
From State Fair Blvd in Lakeland take Beach Rd (near the fire staton) to the end at Iona Place, where it T’s at the RR tracks. There is parking available for one vehicle here, or you can park on the street of this quiet neighborhood.
The trail head starts after walking over the RR tracks and passing through a gate. Approx 50 feet in from the RR tracks turn LEFT. (Right here at the trailhead there are many birds to watch and listen to as they joyfully sing their songs. If you forgot your binoculars in the car, now is the time to go back and get them. Plenty of squirrels, chipmunks and deer along the way. Keep your eyes open for the deer.)
As you start down the trail and go under the tree that crosses above the trail, there is a wet area where the water crosses the trail. Watch your step.
You will walk under the overpass of 690 then at the fork, stay to the left. At the end you T into Onondaga Lake.
On the lake I saw many ducks and other various water fowl. To my amazement I also saw two gorgeous white swans! Bring your binoculars and camera. Enjoy!
Great trail for solitude.
After crossing the RR tracks and walking through a gate, you turn left to get on the Lakeland Trail. Although the trail isn’t labeled, you will know you are on the right trail because you will see a tree over the trail.
