Overview
The Lansing Center Trail totals 7.7 miles and offers multiple loops around the perimeters of abandoned and active farm fields, plus wooded, linear trails along the abandoned railroad berms of the Ithaca-Auburn Short line and the never-completed Murdock line
About the Route
The Lansing Center Trail offers wonderful long views to the west and south, excellent bird watching, fox, turkey, and coyote.
At the trail's main accent point at 90 Auburn Rd, the adjacent Salt Point Brewery, and the seasonal Ice Cream Shop, Scoops, trail users can enjoy a drink and a sweet treat before or after heading out on the trail. Also, trail users are treated to the native plant garden at the trailhead parking lot, where picnic tables and benches are available.
A short section of the trail is a rail trail and can be accessed directly from the main parking lot. This section heads northeast along a wooded corridor.
Unlike a typical rail trail, biking is not allowed, and trail use is limited to walking and skiing in the winter months. On-leash pets are allowed, but most of the route is a primitive grass route cut into farmlands, and cutting across these trails is strictly forbidden.
Parking for the Lansing Center Trails is available at 90 Auburn Road (Lansing).
