Easy. Flat paved trails.
Directions:
For the of the Lake Ontario

end of the Lake Ontario State Parkway where it turns into Pattonwood Dr (before
crossing the Genesee River) head
north on Lake Ave. Take your second right on Latta Rd followed by a left on
River St. You値l come to the Genesee
Riverway Trail on your right, however, this parking
lot is for permit holder only. If you continue up River St you値l find
another parking lot on your right.
For the of the Route 390 Trail [Southern
End];
From Route 390 take exit 24 to Route 104 east. The trail begins off Hoover Dr
next to the pedestrian bridge over Route 104. Lots of commercial parking lots.
Two highway trails connect
together in Northern Rochester. The
Route 390 Trail travels North-South along Route 390, while the
Lake Ontario State Parkway Trail
travels East-West along the Parkway. The Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail also connects to the North-South Genesee
Riverway Trail at its Eastern
End.
Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail:
Starting
from the River Street parking lot/Genesee Riverway Trail [Eastern
End]; Head South,
on-road along River St,
past the old RR Station to Latta Rd and head right, West,
on-road (low traffic)
up a short
hill. After 0.5 miles you値l
approach the Lake Ontario State Parkway where you値l pick up the Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail on your right.
I
have not checked out this trail. [Re-zeroing
Mileage] The paved Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail travels West,
alongside the Parkway,
crossing Greenleaf Rd at 0.6 miles. You travel underneath a RR bridge and over Slatter
Creek at 1.4 miles. After crossing Dewey Ave at 1.7 miles the trail travels
through woodlands. Cross a bridge over Round
Pond Creek and the final leg takes you between the Parkway and a marsh before the trail turns right,
North, bringing you to Island Cottage Rd (Route 134) after
2.8 miles.
Note; To connect to the State
Route 390 Trail head right, South,
on-road (wide shoulder) along Island Cottage
Rd (Route 134), over the Parkway, then right, West,
on Janes Rd (wide Shoulder). Travel underneath
Route 390 and you値l come to the start of the Route 390 Trail after
0.5 miles. Straight ahead is the Janes
Road parking lot.
Route 390 Trail:
Starting
from the Janes
Road parking lot [Northern End]; I
have not checked out this section.
Note; The paved Route 390 Trail travels left, North,
before quickly ending at an on-ramp for the Lake
Ontario State Parkway [Southern Side] after
0.25 miles. No clue why it takes you here,
to a highway. No place to cross the highway here to connect to another short
section of trail, on the Northern Side of Lake
Ontario State Parkway, which leads out to Island Cottage
Rd.
Travel right, South,
across Janes Rd.
Note; To connect to the Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail head left, East,
along Janes Rd (wide Shoulder). Travel underneath Route 390 and spot a paved
trail on your left.
Note; This trail simply leads North,
to an off-ramp for the Lake
Ontario State Parkway and like the other trail, there is no place to cross
this high speed highway.
Head left, North, along Island Cottage
Rd (Route 134) (wide shoulder). Cross over the Parkway and you'll pick up the Lake
Ontario State Parkway Trail on your left after
0.5 miles.
Continuing South, the
trail starts out open, before becoming wooded, as it travels along the Western
Side of Route 390. Cross Route 18 at 1.1 miles and English Rd at 2.2
miles, where you'll find the Basil Marella
Park parking lot. I've checked out this next
section. Here the trail is well away from Route 390, thus much more
scenic. Pass by sports fields before coming to an intersection at 2.4 miles.
Note; Right, West,
brings you to a playground, sports
courts, restrooms and the Basil Marella Park parking lot off Fetzner Rd.
Head back into the woods, through Basil Marella
Park. Spot Paddy Hill Creek below on your left. Cross Vintage Lane
at 2.8 miles, followed by Maiden Lane at 3.4 miles. Here, you follow a sidewalk left,
East, underneath Route 390. The trail then continues
South, along the Eastern Side of Route 390.
This open section takes you between the highway and the sports
fields for Olympia HS.
Note; You pass by a Spur
Trail on your right, West, that leads to
a pedestrian bridge over Route 390 to Fetzner Rd.
Pass by Christopher Fahy Memorial Park, where the trail
re-enters the woods. Pass by a small pond, before coming to an intersection.
Note; Right leads to a sidewalk along Route
104. Food available.
Continue straight, up the ramp, to a pedestrian
bridge over Route 104. This brings you to the Southern
Side of Route 104, next to Hoover Dr at 4.8 miles.
I
have not checked out this new section. Travel right,
South, on-road along Hoover Dr (sidewalk
available) and just past Paddy Creek Circle, you'll pick up the paved trail on
your right. The trail travels West,
alongside Paddy Creek Circle, then through the woods, back to Route 390. Trail
travels along a partially shaded corridor, crossing Latona Rd at 5.6 miles,
where it follows alongside Latona Rd, crossing Weiland Rd, before coming to Ridgeway Ave
after 6 miles.
Note; The future Eastman
Trail, will start here and travel East,
alongside an old section of the Old Erie Canal.
See; Map Below.
Note; You can connect to the Erie
Canalway Trail; Rochester-Buffalo Section from here, however, it
requires an on-road detour West,
along busy Ridgeway Ave (no shoulder). Not sure if there any plans to connect
to some trails Southwest, through Canal
Landing Professional Park, where you can also access the Erie
Canalway Trail; Rochester-Buffalo .
Note; Phase 1 of the Eastman
Trail utilizes a section of the Old Erie
Canal. See; Map Below.
