The Genesee Riverway Trail is a scenic multi-use trail which runs through Rochester from the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario.  It is a designated National Recreational Trail, and connects to both the statewide Erie Canal Heritage Trail and the Genesee Valley Greenway Trail, which continues south along the Genesee River.

There are many parks and historic districts to enjoy along the Genesee Riverway Trail. In addition, plans are underway to develop a New York State Park at High Falls. Tap the rendering below to learn more.
