We parked at Lock 32, and rode west to Henrietta Rd (we were going to Genesee Valley Park, but trail closed at Henrietta Rd for bridge construction). Then turned around and went east to Fairport. 26miles roundtrip. Trail is paved, flat, and in good condition for most of the way. Since it is along a canal, it is open with little shade. Tough on a windy day. There was a portapotty at Lock 32, but no other restrooms or water that we saw.
It's nearby my house and i walk there few times. It's Very Relaxing!!
Just rode the trail from south to north and back. Beautiful and widely diverse scenery. The trial was slow compared to asphalt or crushed stone, being mostly grass, hard-packed dirt, and some crushed stone. Mostly double-track but single-track in some places. The southern-most end was primarily mowed grass, but the further north we rode, the harder and smoother the trail surface became. There was a Porta-John at the ball field in Little Valley, which was nice, but otherwise no amenities. Met the Director of the Pat McGee Trail on his tractor. Was thrilled that we "came all the way from Rochester to ride his little trail."
This is the best Morning treat on a perfect Spring Day!
Ok im probly wrong but i feel like i have put more miles on this trail than anyone. I mean dog walking, bike rides, commuting, trainning for a marathon. my first date with my wife. Once or twice i even walked it late at night when i thought it best i leve my car at the bar. I love the trail its beutifull in every season. Wether your trying to work out or going to J'z texas hots for a bite to eat. If your in the neighborhood its werth checking out. I'll see you there.
Love how this trail system connects to the north buffalo trail system!
Nice enjoyable walk. Parking lot a little hard to find.
Nice trail! Easy access, plenty of parking
My favorite rail to trail so far. Quiet, peaceful, great access
Nice for a short dog walk. Garbage cans along the way to dispose of waste baggies. The trail is not 0.71 miles long though. My app said about 0.56 one way.
My sister and our boys did this trail and it was very nice walking down by the water especially after her long day at work. It was also, an easy walk for my blind Uncle whom we would occasionally bring with us. I loved that it was paved because her boy could use roller blades. It also goes passed an old grave yard. If you haven't walked it yet I would strongly recommend it. Thanks. Marlene
