Hickory Island is a private island consisting of 53 acres located on the Seneca River in Weedsport NY, Cayuga County. This is a rare opportunity to own your own private island located just a few miles north of Weedsport and the Route 90 Thruway. Navigating the Seneca River heading north from Hickory Island will take you into Cross Lake, and heading southwest eventually you will end up connecting with the Erie Canal System allowing access to the upper Finger Lakes through the Erie Canal waterway. There is a rich history with Hickory Island which was created over 200 years ago with the dredging of the canal system. The previous owners had established a primitive camping site in the summer months many decades ago. The island is mostly wooded with large hickory trees dotting the landscape, and there are several open areas along its banks and the interior with grassy flats. The Erie Canal System gives you access to over 360 miles of constructed canal system which allows you to travel into Seneca and Cayuga Lakes through the lock system and go as far as the Hudson River, Lake Ontario, and beyond. Located in the flyway for migrating ducks and geese makes this a prime location for some waterfowl hunting on your own private island. Use the island as a weekend gateway and build your primitive off-grid camp and enjoy fishing and boating in the area. There is no power on the island and it is only accessible by watercraft. Located in the WMU 7F. Don’t miss out on this one!
