Website Allan H. Treman State Marine Park

Allan H. Treman State Marine Park is a cool place in Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York. It's a big park, about 91-acre (0.37 km2), and it has a marina where boats can dock. You'll find it at the very end of Cayuga Lake, which is one of New York's famous 11 Finger Lakes.

The park is named after Allan Hosie Treman (1899-1975). He was a smart guy who taught law at Cornell University and helped the city of Ithaca. He also worked to protect the Finger Lakes parks. His dad, Robert H. Treman, has a state park named after him too!
