About the Wetland Overlook at the S. Gerald Ingerson Preserve
Welcome to the Wetland Overlook at the S. Gerald Ingerson Preserve, a serene and picturesque park located in Clayton, New York. Nestled within the heart of the Thousand Islands region, our preserve offers a unique opportunity to explore nature along seven miles of multi-use trails, thoughtfully developed on the historic bed of the New York Central Railroad.
Directions to the Preserve: From Clayton, head south on State Route 12 for half a mile until you reach East Line Road, where the Victorian Gas & Convenience Store marks the corner. Turn left onto East Line Road and continue for 0.8 miles to find TILT's trailhead parking area for the Sissy Danforth Rivergate Trail and S. Gerald Ingerson Preserve.
Our trails extend in both directions, inviting visitors to journey toward the Village of Clayton or LaFargeville. This rails-to-trails project, initiated by TILT in 1993, honors the legacy of former director Louise “Sissy” Danforth and her visionary efforts in transforming the old railroad into a vibrant space for recreation. Whether you're biking, hiking, or simply enjoying a leisurely walk, the trails offer a scenic escape into nature.
As an integral part of the Thousand Islands Land Trust (TILT), the Wetland Overlook at the S. Gerald Ingerson Preserve embodies nearly four decades of commitment to land protection and conservation throughout the St. Lawrence River Valley. Our preserve is home to the largest Class 1 wetlands complex in the Thousand Islands, making it a perfect spot for paddling and wildlife observation.
Join us in celebrating the natural beauty and diverse habitats of the region. We encourage responsible use of the trails to ensure they remain enjoyable for everyone. For a detailed map of the S. Gerald Ingerson Preserve and Sissy Danforth Rivergate Trail, please click here.
