The Cayuga Waterfront Trail receives winter maintenance in Cass Park.
Winter is a great time to enjoy the waterfront trail; however, the only section that receives winter maintenance is the stretch along Cass Park, marked in NAVY BLUE on this map. City employees do their best to get the trail their cleaned off in a timely manner after every snow, so this is by far the safest section of the trail in cold weather.
Keep in mind that snow naturally melts more quickly on the black paved trail faster than on unpaved surfaces, so the entire trail can be enjoyed once temps go above freezing for a few days at a time.
