Description:
The North Branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad trail connects the campuses of the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology. The trail's northern terminus is where the Erie Canal Heritage Trail connects to UR's "Park Lot" parking lot, accessed by Intercampus Drive. From there the trail uses a concrete-and-gravel bridge to cross I-390. A rough path continues 0.2 miles to East River Road.

From East River Rd. to Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Rd (1.5 miles) the trail is stone dust.

Users must then use the sidewalk (concrete, 5ft wide) of B-H Town Line Rd for 0.25 miles and cross Jefferson Rd. at a controlled intersection with a push-button walk sign.

South of Jefferson Rd, the path is an asphalt-paved multi-use path parallel to John St. for the remaining 1.5 miles. The trail terminates at Bailey Rd.

The trail is marked with small green "Lehigh Valley Trail" trail signs.
