April 9, 2022 Flossie Demartino

New York’s Finger Lakes region takes its name from 11 freshwater lakes placed like a handprint between Lake Ontario and the Pennsylvania border. Skiing, hiking and biking trails traverse the landscape; visitors can also indulge in various wine, cheese and beer trails. The area offers a culinary bounty, with an emphasis on farm-to-table cuisine. Rich history and culture are found throughout the region, with one attraction more inviting than the next.

Spring Lake Park

Reviewed By D2835RUdebrad

I love Spring Lake Park! The front part of the park is perfect for families who want to have a picnic, perfect for baseball players, perfect place for fishermen. But the back part of the park is the place I love the most! It is the place for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes to meet - - and they get to play off-leash! To top it off, Irondequoit Creek runs through the park and provides a nice, clean swimming hole for the pups - - and boy do they love it!! I have made a lot of new friends at Spring Lake Park - - if there is one great thing about dog parents is that we all love to talk with other dog parents. Thank you Perinton, for providing this wonderful place for our pups!

Black Creek Park

Reviewed By Debbertons - Rochester, United States

I walk here at least once a week pretty much all year round. I prefer the more wooded trails (orange, red, blue) and the rear entrance because it’s quieter and has good access to these trails. The horse trails can get a bit muddy and the marsh trail can have long grass if it’s too wet to mow. Otherwise - Nicely maintained trails and almost always quiet. Use the rear entrance for some more peaceful walking.

Center Park

Reviewed By jamiespi - Fairport, United States

We had a picnic at Center Park for our class reunion. It was clean, they have clean bathrooms and they allowed us to have a food truck to offer food for the families there. The park is fun for the kids and there is a huge field for any kind of game you can imagine.

Abraham Lincoln Park

Reviewed By JoeKupe - Victor, United States

Empire Road can get very crowded, but once you turn into the small parking lot for Abraham Lincoln Park (fits about 20 cars) you find you quickly move away from the crowded road and deep into the woods. Begin your hike on the white trail right past the playground and follow it for a mile and half of flat sections and hills down to a portion of the Lake Ontario Bay. From there turn around for a three mile hike or cross the parking lot for an unmarked path of lots more hills up to the Bay Road YMCA and if you turn around there you have added another 2/3 of a mile, give or take. These hills are great training for the Adirondacks and if you have time you can venture on to some side trails as well!
