A simple one stage letterbox placed by our family monkey so you know what to expect.
Welcome to the Town of Lockport’s little known park, the Lytle Nature Preserve. William F. Lytle donated this large parcel of land to the Town of Lockport in 2008 for use as a public nature preserve. The majority of the property is protected under a conservation easement granted for the express purpose of preserving this natural landscape for future generations. Today the park is mostly unfinished with just a pedestrian crossing from the canal parking lot, a woodchip trail and an elevated walkway over a wetland area. Future plans (pending funding of course) have been proposed for several paths, interpretive signage, benches and even possibly a gazebo.
The Preserve features a variety of ecological communities including: wetlands, grasslands and early succession hardwood forest in addition to farmland.
Preserve parking is at the Cold Springs Road Bridge Parking Lot at N 43° 11.205 W 078° 39.962. From parking, proceed Northeast to North Canal Rd and cross on the marked pedestrian crossing. From here follow the woodchip trail to the Preserve and enjoy a nice nature hike.
Park hours are dawn to dusk. Please respect nearby homeowners and their properties and any no parking signs you encounter.
