West End District

Once a busy shipping center and industrial terminus for the Erie Canal, Ithaca’s Waterfront and West End districts are in the midst of a vibrant renaissance. This is where you will find some of Ithaca’s favorite music venues, eateries, health & wellness centers, specialty shops and theatres. It is also the hub of waterfront recreation - featuring the Cayuga Waterfront Trail - with its parks, marinas, pool, skating rink, and special events. Cultural festivals, scenic vistas, and bike and boat rentals underscore the West End as a must-see-do neighborhood.
