I found this trail through the TrailLink.com site. The description and review made us want to give it a go and we are glad we did. The trail is in pristine condition with a stone dust surface for all types of bikes. There is plenty to see along the way for nature lovers. Railfans and history buffs will love the 100 year old steel bridges over the Genesee River and Honeoye Creek. We have not covered the whole ride yet having done a couple out and backs from the E River Rd and Rush parking areas. No steep hills and few road crossings make it a wonderful place for a family ride.

I live in Scottsville and bike on the Lehigh Valley Trail all the time. We're lucky to have such well kept, fun and safer biking resources so close to where we live. This trail is crushed stone dust and is suitable for a mountain bike, hybrid bike or perhaps a road bike. I get on the trail from the Genesee Valley Greenway but there are many parking areas along its length. I never knew where it ended until today when in celebration or perhaps denial of my 53rd birthday I decided to bike 53 miles. I went to the end of the Lehigh Valley Trail and then connected to the Auburn Trail for a bit. Another thing I like about the Lehigh Valley Trail is that other than crossing some roads you don't have to bike on the streets unlike the Auburn Trail. This country biking also pretty much guarantees that you see some kind of wild life when you bike. I've seen deer, foxes, turkeys, other birds beyond counting, a beaver and today a snapping turtle.

This is a wonderful trail to ride on. It provides a nice, even surface for miles with beautiful scenes along the way. However, in some places the footing for horses is a bit rocky. We are trying to resolve this issue. If you are interested in getting involved to help please contact the Mendon Foundation and let them know you support the equestrian portion of this trail!
