Any fun free places to go in your hometown? Please leave a comment below!
Finding interesting places to stop at while traveling is fairly easy – stop at any state or city information center or just Google. Finding interesting places to go that are also free is a little more difficult because the pamphlets and magazines that are available at the information centers are often just glorified advertisements. Google will bring up the most popular and well known places on the first page while cool little out of the way places are hidden several pages in. Searching for free things to do , free campsites , trails and museums often yields some great places. But the best way to find places are by asking the locals – all of you!
I’ve marked free attractions on the maps with an asterisk. They’re complete free , no parking fees if they have a dedicated lot and no need for any type of pass.
We’ll be visiting relatives in Texas for the next couple of weeks so posts will be infrequent for awhile. Thanks a lot for visiting and check back in a few weeks!
Back in Ithaca, NY, Stewart Park is a very pleasant lakeside park. Tables and benches, even a swing or two overlooking Cayuga Lake. On the other side you can enjoy the inlet. I believe most areas are also wheelchair-friendly.
ReplyDeleteLots of free things to do at Cornell, but parking is so atrocious as to block all but the most ambitious from using their resources.
Steamboat Landing (Ithaca Farmer's Market) is also fun and pleasant.
Taughannock Falls in Trumansburg has a chair-friendly overlook ... I think.
Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't made a New York map yet. Just thinking about it is daunting - so many things to see and do! I'm filing ideas from other RVers blogs when they post about a cool looking place so that I can add them to future maps.
