Babcock Ridge Trail Open House

September 23, 2024

The Town of Ithaca will be hosting an open house and guiding a walk-through of the proposed Babcock Ridge trail project on Monday, September 30, 2024.  Please stop at the site on Culver Road anytime between 5:00pm and 6:30pm (link to a map showing meeting location). The walk through will provide an opportunity to ask questions of the project representatives. Participant feedback will inform the development of the proposed route to create a trail that best fits the needs of the community. Concept drawings and maps can be found here.

The Babcock Ridge property consists of two parcels totaling approximately 74 acres that were purchased by the Town of Ithaca in 2018 and 2019. The property is located on Culver Road, between Bostwick Road and Poole Road. Farming occurred on portions of the property through most of the 1900’s. The highlights of the property include amazing scenic views from several of the existing open fields. The Babcock Ridge trail project seeks to develop parking facilities, trails, and other passive recreation features for Town of Ithaca’s residents to enjoy.
