Genesee Riverway Trail

Popular with bicyclists, roller-bladers, joggers and walkers, this scenic trail stretches thirteen miles along the Genesee River.

Reviewed By ktzeller - Rothbury, Australia

Lovely parkland and paths leading to a very nicely maintained very long boardwalk. We saw birds, large fish, swans, squirrels. Boats and a paddle steamer came by. Perfect with kids or for a fresh long walk.
