Clark Reservation State Park Jamesville NYClark Reservation State Park is a geologic wonder of the last ice age and a botanist's paradise. The park's natural features include rugged cliffs and rocky outcrops, woodland and meadow, a wetland and a glacial plunge basin lake in which the surface waters and bottom waters do not mix. Fishermen can catch pickerel, bullheads and sunfish; while birdwatchers may observe cedar waxwings, kingfishers and woodpeckers. Guided nature walks leave from the Nature Center building, which also offers numerous exibits. Hikers may choose from five trails, including the cliff trail, which has a ledge overlook 175 feet above the water. It is the site of an Ice Age riverbed and waterfall; the eroded base of the falls is now a small lake. Hiking trails skirt a half-ring of cliffs surrounding the lake, as well as worn remains of the old river. The park is 340 acres in size. The lake (Glacier or Green lake) is 10 acres in size and 62 feet deep. It is one of the few meromictic lakes in the US. The surrounding limestone cliffs are 180 feet high.Clark Reservation State Park 6105 East Seneca Turnpike Jamesville NY 13078 (315) 492-1590 Directions: Syracuse: Rte 481 south to Jamesville NY exit.
