Location: Perinton, NY
This trail is located 15 minutes east of Rochester, NY. We parked in the parking lot of Spring Lake Park and played on the playground for a bit. It’s not a very new playground and is designed for 5-12 year olds. We then walked to the Spring Lake Trail which did require going up a small grassy hill alongside the road. The path myself is really well maintained with a few small hills and pretty views of the river. Just FYI the path is right alongside the rushing river with no rails or guards of any kind! We walked a short ways to the Babci’s Bridge and then turned around.
According to the Town of Perinton website: “The new 2,100 linear foot stone dust trail follows along Irondequoit Creek, forging a vital connection from Spring Lake Park in the Town of Perinton to an existing trail network in the neighboring Town of Penfield, ultimately leading to Channing Philbrick Park.”
