Beaver Lake Nature Center
- Beaver Lake Nature Center
Beaver Lake Nature Center is 650-acre natural area located 4 miles west of Baldwinsville, New York. The Nature Center is an Onondaga County Parks facility and is meant to expose visitors to a variety of outdoor experiences.
The nature center is open year round (except Christmas) from dawn to dusk. There is a $2 fee per vehicle for visiting.
Ten miles of trails allow people to explore the diverse habitats which can be found at the center. It also serves as an educational tool with as many as 12,000 school children visiting each year. The concept and operation of the facility makes the outdoor experience available to a wide range of people as it is open year round.
In summer months canoes and kayaks are available. In spring and fall the lake serves as a migratory stop for thousands of ducks and Canada geese. The park is also opened in the winter with the trails used for cross-country skiing and snoeshoeing. Other activities round out the winter experience.
This park, and others like it, serve to expose the general public to outdoor experiences geared to the seasons.
