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.
