Directions

From Ithaca, take Rt. 13 north towards Dryden.  Go approximately 12 miles and turn right on Irish Settlement Rd.  Continue on Irish Settlement approximately 5 miles (you will pass the NORTH parking area on the left) to find the SOUTH parking area on the left just after Goodband Rd.  If you get to Midline Rd. you’ve gone too far.  PLEASE park on Goodband Rd. if the parking lot is full – there is not adequate space to park on the shoulder of Irish Settlement Road.  Get more preserve information.
