Onondaga Lake Park – East Shore Recreation Trail and Shoreline Walking Trail

Location: Liverpool, NY

This park is located just over an hour east of Rochester, NY on the shore of Onondaga Lake near Syracuse. There are two main trails on the east shore of the lake. The following are from the official website.

East Shore Recreation Trail

  • Over two and one-half miles long and twenty feet wide, this paved trail is ideal for in-line skating and bicycling. During the peak season of April to October, pedestrian use is allowed only if it does not impede wheeled users and stay within three feet of the shoulder and with no more than two abreast. Dogs are not allowed on the trail during peak season. Trams follow the center line. During the off-season of November to March, wheels and pedestrians share the trail. Dogs on 6′ leashes are allowed with pedestrian use but not with wheeled users. This trail is plowed in the winter.

Shoreline Walking Trail

  • This trail is designated for walkers and runners. Only foot traffic is allowed on this two mile long trail. Distance markers along the route help you maintain consistent mileage. Special uses (strollers, children’s bicycles with training wheels, tricycles and wheel chair users) are also permitted on this trail. This trail is not plowed in the winter. When it snows please use the plowed East Shore Recreation Trail.
