Genesee Valley Park

Genesee Valley Park follows the Genesee River on Rochester's southern side, where water, open spaces, and curving routes reflect its landscape-park character.
The meeting of river and canal adds interest to an outing that can be shaped as a short stroll or a longer walk. Broad views alternate with quieter places along the paths.
Choose a route and access point from the current park information before setting out. Check trail and water-condition notices, share designated routes considerately, and confirm the availability of any recreation facilities you plan to use.
