By Laura Gras, February 9, 2022

Did you know that there is access to 560 acres for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and hiking right behind Ithaca College? The Natural Lands have trails with cross country tracks already made by other skiers. Easiest access is the Access Road behind Terraces 10-13.

Don't have gear?

Snowshoe rentals are available at the Fitness Center free of charge! If there is a group larger than 2-3 email campusrec@ithaca.edu or call 607-274-3399. 

Cross country ski packages (skis, boots, poles) are available at a rate of $15/day (a minimum of 24 hours' notice is required, email campusrec@ithaca.edu or call 607-274-3399).
