COVERT, NY (607NewsNow) – There’s still time to weigh in on a new State Park on Cayuga Lake.

Officials want to hear from you about what you’d like to see offered at the former Camp Barton in Covert and any concerns you may have.

A survey is expected to close at the end of the day on Friday, October 17.

Trumansburg, Ulysses, and Covert are managing the 93-acre site, which was purchased by the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation for $5 million in December 2024. It opened for hiking and nature observation in June.

A formal dedication date, which will include a new park name, has not yet been announced.
