Good opportunities for bird watching exist along the paths and the former railroad bed that borders the preserve. The Bishop Nature Preserve is located in the town of Fayette, just east of the north end of Seneca Lake. Take the first left, on West River Road. From Ithaca, take Route 96 north to Route 96A north. Drive a short distance until you see woods and the preserve sign on the left.
Parking is on the grass near an abandoned shed.
