We had high hopes for this trail and were disappointed. The parking area is a little sketchy and the trail itself is bumpy gravel. Some of it was just grass with big stones throughout. We actually turned around after about 3 miles because we thought we might blow a tire. Seems like it has potential but it is not maintained at all. The pictures are deceiving.
A very well maintained linear park. A lot of road crossings though. Not scenic but pleasant. At the north end follow the signs to continue to the canal trail and to the Niagara River
Sections of the trail were washed out and provided poor footing for a run. Trail is closed just north of the Whirlpool Bridges
I love this trail. There's a trailhead right down the street from where I go to school up in Rochester, and it makes for a great endurance ride on a late summer or early fall day. Typically, I'll pick up the trail head and ride south down to Wadsworth Junction, where I can then pick up the Lehigh Valley trail. Generally speaking I have nothing bad to say about this trail. It's pretty well maintained, has some beautiful scenery, and a lot of cool history scattered throughout. However, a word of caution: It was the Sunday before Columbus day, I had some time to kill, and I decided I wanted to take the trail down to the Junction point in Piffard (Not the same as Pittsford). At this point in time, I hadn't gone anywhere past Wadsworth junction yet, so I was pretty much riding blind. As I got further south past Wadsworth, the terrain got significantly more sketchy. Trenches, muddy conditions, and A LOT of hedge apples. Not to mention the sheer amount of leaves that had fallen making it hard to plot a line ahead. Against all odds, I made it to my destination, and back in one piece, having only wiped out once. The moral of this story is, while the trail is awesome, do not attempt with out proper preparation. If you're like me, and you like to ride a gravel setup for versatility, be warned that standard gravel tires are probably not enough for the southern part of this trail specifically, and you might want to swap them for something more grippy (e.g. a cx tire) if you plan on going further. Great trail! Ride with caution.
Trail has high potential but needs a lot of work. Large stones make it mostly unrideable and almost dangerous to walk. Mostly used as snowmobile trail in winter.
The west shore trail was beautiful, passing through forested areas, biking through Clarence Park, then towards Akron junction and ended up at Bistro 93 where we had a delicious lunch and great conversation with the owners (we highly recommend stopping!) and then back. We did not venture to the peanut line, but will be back to ride that trail!
trail is closed through what used to be lasalle park, is now maybe ralph wilson park? has been closed for at least 2 years and will remain closed for a least another year.
We didn’t ride it all the way to Buffalo. We rode to Whirlpool State Park from Fort Niagara State Park. Stopped in Lewiston for an appetizer and beverage on the way back.
Beautiful trail. Well maintained. Headed west from Henrietta first, a little secluded. Only went about 2 miles then headed east to lock 33. Felt safer going east. Full of exercise traffic… love to see that!
