This unique trail located 25 minutes southeast of Rochester is considered a “Forever Wild for Everyone Trail”. Along this accessible, stone dust trail there are numerous things to look at including informational signs about birds and butterflies, gardens, fairy houses, benches, painted rocks, and some old relics and info about the history of the Erie Canal. There is also a short storybook walk. The entire trail including the loop and going out to the point is about a half mile. ⚠️ The path runs along the canal with no fence or barrier.
“At the end of the trail is one of the few places to see all three versions of the Erie Canal side by side — there is the original canal (called Clinton’s Ditch), the enlarged Erie Canal, and the present-day Erie Canal (once known as The Barge Canal).” – Daily Messenger
