Goodyear Swamp Sanctuary
Watch Video
The Goodyear family donated some of their land on the shore of Otsego Lake to Glimmerglass Opera and also to SUNY Oneonta as a field station. The GoodYear Swamp Sanctuary is open to the public dawn to dusk. There are five acres of wetlands with developed trails and boardwalks and a guide book available at the trail head sign in.
Local Events
We've visited the City of Oneida on the show a few times over the years, but it felt completely different after a big snow. Everything is draped in white, but it can't hide the beautiful architecture the city is known for. It reminds us how wealthy this community became during the "transportation revolution," when canals and railroads transported Oneida's produce and merchandise around the country.

On our visit this week, we find things to do on a snowy day.

A New Hike, Bike, and Ski Trail
in Old Forge
There's a new trail that takes you from the village of Old Forge (trail head just behind the school) to the McCauley Mountain Ski Area. This trail is for hiking, biking and cross country skiing. It takes you along an old tow path used by downhill skiers in the 1930s & 40s, before the McCauley Mountain was established. You can see some old downhill ski equipment along your hike, like an old truck that was retrofitting with a shive to tow skier up the hill so they could ski back into town. Die-hard skier would hike beyond the tow hill to McCauley, carrying their skis on their backs.

There's a new restaurant in East Utica adding a new flavor to the great variety of cuisine this part of the city is known for. The Phou family treats you like family and serves up authentic South East Asian food especially Cambodian. The name of the restaurant is significant to his family. As the Lotus flower rises from the muddy waters, Mr. Phou's restaurant is a dream realized -a dream that began when his family fled to the United States from a war-torn Cambodia in the 1970's. Learn more about Cambodia in my "blog" at the top of the page.

Road Trip to Snowy Oneida
Oneida is worth a Road Trip just to see the beautiful architecture of the homes, churches, and businesses. Architecture and art history students visit the city because of its variety of architectural styles.
The beautiful homes that line the historic district of Oneida reflect the prosperity reaped during the late 1800s when the city became a diversified manufacturing center.
