We stumbled upon this trail and sure glad we did! It is pretty shaded and not too difficult with great scenery. Rode 8 miles one way and still could have went further but had to make it back for an appointment. You see lots of nature and other people on the trail. It felt very safe and was well kept up!! Next time we are in town we will pedal further on this trail. It had some hills but nothing drastic.

No matter what the season this has always been one of my favorite walks in Rochester. Between the playgrounds scattered about, paved paths and shelters this is a walk for all ages. Also a really fun place to roller blade in the summer, bicycles as well. Take a picnic with you and bread to feed the geese, just beware they are used to people being around and are not shy about stealing your food. Great views of the downtown skyline.
