Cumming Nature Center

About Us

Get up close with nature at our 900 acre preserve nestled in the Finger Lakes. Visitors of all ages can connect with the natural world through immersive outdoor experiences led by experienced and enthusiastic guides.

During the warmer months, hikers can explore 15 miles of trails winding through diverse habitats like beaver ponds and upland forests. In winter, visitors can rent a pair of skis or snowshoes as they glide through a snowy woodland wonderland. Our Visitors Center is open year-round, and offers nature and cultural exhibits for the whole family. Indoor and outdoor nature play areas offer plenty to keep little minds occupied no matter the weather.

Keep an eye out for the many events and programs that we offer for nature-loving visitors of all ages! From guided hikes to pancake breakfasts to trail runs, there's something special for everyone in our community.
