Eldridge Lake Loop at Eldridge Park in Elmira, New York is a 0.6-mile easy and universally accessible trail that encompasses the lake and features views of the water.

This is not a hike but rather a flat walk along a paved trail that circles Eldridge Lake. Walkers will find access to Eldridge Park amusement facilities when they're open too (seasonal).

Universal Access
Note that the path from the parking lot to the paved loop trail is dirt and crushed stone. The trail that circles the lake is paved and accessible.

Parking
Walkers will find a very large parking lot at the coordinates provided.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

Warning
Geese: This park is a magnet for Canadian Geese, which can be found littering the trail, usually on the south side. These geese often have babies with them and will protect their young, so give them plenty of space. In addition to the geese, parts of this trail can be found littered with goose droppings, so watch your step.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
