Story from Walt Gable, County Historian

Cayuga Lake State Park

Seneca Falls, NY

For many years local people enjoyed the privately operated picnic grounds on the site of the present Cayuga Lake State Park. In 1886, shortly after a group of New York City businessmen purchased the property, a railroad extension was added -- making it the first standard gauge railroad line ever built in this country for the primary purpose of reaching a summer resort.
