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.
Genesee Valley Park
The trail runs through Genesee Valley Park, a historic Fredrick Law Olmsted park, at the confluence of the Genesee River and the Erie Canal, and the junction of the Genesee Riverway Trail, Erie Canal Heritage Trail and the Genesee Valley Greenway Trail. Amenities include restrooms, picnic areas, play fields, tennis, golf, outdoor swimming pool, indoor ice skating, canoeing and rowing.
A bicycle service stand, located near the ice rink, features an air pump, philips and flathead screwdrivers, box wrenches (8,9,10,11,15 & 32mm), allen wrenches (2,2.5,3,4,5,6 & 8mm) tire lever and a torx wrench.
Off-street parking is available in the park.
Farther to the south of the City line, the trail connects to the Genesee Valley Greenway Trail.
