Genesee Riverway Trail - Turning Point Park

The Genesee Riverway Trail is an off-road trail for walking, running and bicycling along the Genesee River. It extends through the scenic, historic and cultural heart of Rochester, from the Erie Canal to downtown and Lake Ontario.  It provides pedestrian access to the Genesee River, its scenic gorge, three waterfalls, eight pedestrian bridges and eleven parks, including four historic parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. 

Turning Point Park

Turning Point Park covers 275 wooded acres along the banks of the Genesee River. Hiking and biking trails will help you discover the park's distinct areas, from the wooded oak forest called "Bullock's Woods" to the cattail lined shores of the river viewable from the 3,572 ft-long bridge over the Genesee River Turning Basin. South of Turning Point Park, the Genesee Riverway Trail extends along Lake Avenue to Maplewood Drive where it again separates from the street.

A parking lot for the trail is situated at the east end of Boxart Street.
