Nice walk along the river. Bring bug spray for the wooded areas.
My daughter and I enjoyed this trail. It was paved throughout and fairly level. Not strenuous but a nice scenic walk along the Genesee River. The bridge was nice as well.
Great trail! Pretty simple trail but love the bridge walk across the water.
Great walk! Went from Turning Point up to the Port of Rochester for ice cream with the dogs.
Very nice, we enjoyed our walk

Great, easy walk for the family!
Take this trail from Boxart all the way to Ontario Beach Park and back! It is quite a walk, but enjoyable...I am guessing a little over 5 miles round trip.

Great scenic trail with views. Beautiful area with a bridge that crosses part of the river. Hidden gem for sure!
Beautiful and scenic easy trail. A hidden gem in the area.
Parking at the end of Boxart. Not really a "trail" run but a beautiful run all the same.
Nice views great for family walks
Nice scenic oath. Mostly flat. I do wish that they did not blactop the path.
Park at lot at the end Of Boxart Street and go north to the Lake and return. About 4.5 miles round trip. Nice river views and wildlife.
Was able to walk to Lake Ontario from the parking lot and back. Very dog friendly park! Scenic views and even saw some deer.
Loved it! Hidden gem in the city!
Scenic. Can get to the Steven B. Roman while unloading. Some trash from inconsiderate people.
Great place, small turtles hidden everywhere, beautiful swans! Cool giant boat. Family and pet friendly park.
very nice and quiet walk.
Not sure why this is rated as moderate. Easy walk from parking lot to the bridge aside from a steep hill that leads you to the trail. I went paddle boarding here last year, but the dock isn't even visible anymore due to high water levels. Many people walking, biking, and fishing. Trail is well kept.
Beautiful hike. Some hills on the trail from Ontario Beach Park to Turning Point. It's like a hidden gem in Rochester, not a lot of traffic! Love this area!
Great hike
It's okay for a walk, combination paved trail and boardwalk. Follows the Genesee River, which the river banks definitely need some cleaning up from litter.
We do this trail a lot. We usually part off of Boxart and walk down the steep hill to the boardwalk- we follow the boardwalk to the end and turn around- though the trail does go further than that. It's a nice trail to use with a stroller, though the hill near the parking lot is a bit tough. We had followed some of the trails through the woods there too and liked them- they they are not as stroller-accessible. The trail is generally well maintained and clean. There is plenty of parking and it's a nice place to watch water fowl and I often see people fishing there as well. We had seen lost of turtles as well and frequently see fish jumping out of the water. It's a nice trail for families.
Nice walk on a paved path and long bridge
Nice walk in the park.
nice trail
Well maintained; not too difficult.
So much beautiful wildlife. Lots of turtles, ducks, hawks, and a swan couple
Wide, flat, paved path takes you down to a wooden plank boardwalk that is over a portion of the the river. Some waterfowl, broad winged Hawks, Mute Swans, red winged blackbirds, a belted king fisher, and a few different gull species. Absolutely family friendly but it's one way in and the same way out. If you hike 4 miles in, you have to hike 4 miles out. No loop!
Beautiful walk - very serene. Not strenuous - all flat. A hidden gem
