This is a fairly pleasant trail. Rochester is lucky to have some wonderful parks, so it is hard to compare this to highland for example, but this is still a pleasant walk. There are several bridges that you can walk over and some of the paths parallel the highway. There is one section where you can stand directly under the landing zone for the flights coming into and out of ROC airport. Good park for all ages, the trails are fairly flat.
MoreWe walked along the Genesee River - although we were not aware the name of the trail it was found pleasant and interesting.
MoreWe stopped at this park in Rochester. When we first got there we entered a section that did not feel safe so we got in the car and moved to the main section. Very pretty, lots of geese. Lots of activity and walkers/joggers/bikers.
MoreTook the kids and the dogs to the park to get out the house. Really nice and really big. Cant wait to return
MoreI went st the peak of the Autumn colors and was not disappointed, but too cold to stay too long.I explored the park first by car, since I cannot walk that much. Encountered different areas that were picture perfect.There were not too many people walking or around the park. It was late afternoon, before the Sun went down and the colors were magnificent. Golden, Reddish hues on the trees and landscape.I found a statue between the foliage of Edward Mott Moore, he was the President of the American Medical Association and the Board of Trustees of the University of Rochester.A gazebo at one of the Parking areas served to frame some photos.. I think it called the Round HouseIt was a picture perfect afternoon visit while the Autumn Foliage was at its best.It has become my favorite second park in Rochester, which has its share of beautiful parks to call its own.
