Otter Creek Preserve and Nature Trail

Within Walking Distance of Alex Bay

 

Info: One hundred and seven acres of woods and wetlands very near Alexandria Bay, NY, at the center of the Frontenac Arch – which is the reason why this trail is here with NY State designated Class I wetlands.  There are lots of birds and animals of all types here, being a breeding ground for many and the wetlands can store and filter water for the area as well as being spawning grounds for fish.  Look for the amazing suspension bridge and the beautiful two-story observation deck – the lower deck being accessible.  Created by TILT (Thousand Islands Land Trust), the existing trail opened in 2015 and new trails will be added in the future.

Directions/Location: 193 Church Street, Alexandria Bay (Route 26)From the Route 12 and Route 26 intersection at Alex Bay head South (away from Alex Bay) on Route 26.  The entrance to the trail is around .4 of a mile from the intersection before the Alex Bay Drive-In.
