Sperr Memorial Park

About Sperr Memorial Park

Explore Sperr Memorial Park in Big Flats, NY, a haven for accessible outdoor recreation. This park features the universally accessible Sperr Loop Trail, a short and scenic 0.7-mile loop offering beautiful views of Lowe Pond and the historic Chemung Feeder Canal. Keep an eye out for points of interest like the Lowe Pond viewing platform, a fascinating beaver hut (remember to observe respectfully without disturbing), and memorial plaques commemorating the Lowe family and Andrew Sperr. Please note that while the trail aims for universal accessibility, a small section between Lowe Road and the parking area may have limited crushed stone. Don't forget your leash – dogs are welcome, but responsible pet ownership, including waste removal, is a must!

For a longer adventure, discover the Big Flats Rail Trail, a 2.5-mile out-and-back trail also located within Sperr Memorial Park. This universally accessible trail boasts a smooth crushed stone surface and minimal elevation change, making it perfect for hikers of all abilities, cyclists, and families. Enjoy breathtaking vistas of Lowe Pond and the surrounding mountains as you stroll along this peaceful path. Dogs are currently welcome on leash, but please be mindful of park regulations and other trail users by keeping your pets leashed and cleaning up after them to help ensure continued access for dogs on this popular trail.
