Off The Beaten Path: LETCHWORTH PARK is located in...
  • Tip Rating:
  • LETCHWORTH PARK is located in Western New York near Mt Morris and The State University of New York at Geneseo. It is a huge cataract canyon full of Indian lore and stories of the 5 nations. There is a statue of Mary Jemison(the white woman of the Genesee) who lived with the Indians and an actual replica of a long house indian lodge. The park has tons of hiking paths, swimming areas ,picnic areas, waterfalls galore and scenery that is breathtaking.I miss LETCHWORTH the most of anything in the Rochester area.

    Off The Beaten Path: THE ERIE CANAL runs south of...
  • Tip Rating:
  • THE ERIE CANAL runs south of Rochester and its been touted as the best 100 miles in the entire Erie Canal System. The cites of Fairport and Pittsford have done a great deal to develope its shores. There are hiking/biking paths from Albany to Buffalo but I can vouch for the fact that the Rochester section is great...ive taken almost every mile of it either running or biking. The canal path would be one of the special treasures in ROCHESTER.

  • Tip Rating:
  • HAMLIN BEACH PARK...take the Hamlin Beach Expressway 30 miles west along the South West shore of Lake Ontario and you will see a wonderfull park with camping...beaches..sand bluffs...picnic areas...bath houses and a generally great place to relax. I recommend it highly.

    Off The Beaten Path: Again, most of the good stuff...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Again, most of the good stuff is outside of the city. The greater Rochester area has many nice little surrounding towns Mendon, Churchville, Hilton, Hamlin, Avon, Spencerport, Penfield, Brockport, Fairport, Canandaigua, Pittsford, Webster. This is a small town quite far away,,,but look at the picture;-)HONEYOYE FALLS...looks every bit like New England.

     It's great to learn about your "original" hometown. Yes, I've read about it before, but you made it more interesting. Oh, and thanks for the birthday greetings. =)

     Michael I didn't realize that Rochester was that big a city but your tips are great, your intro was great too, sad to see any city or region declining as you have described Rochester, Happy New Year :-)
