Turning Point Park Walking Excursion

September 22, 2007

Too windy to do a canoe excursion yesterday, so decided to tour about the Genesee River with a walk from the newly renovated and very awesome Turning Point Park, up to the Ontario Beach Park, Rochester 'Beach' on Lake Ontario.

The Turning Point Park is very cool- the county, city, etc. built a 'boardwalk' in essence to connect two disconnected pieces of trailway. The boardwalk spans marshland along the Genesee River, skirting next to the place where steamboats would turn around in the Genesee River, hence 'Turning Point Park, after loading or unloading to to back into Lake Ontario. The boardwalk is really nice, and I was happy to see quite a few people enjoying the outdoors via this newly created recreation facet of Rochester.

Here's a link to some pictures I took on today's excursion: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13991097@N02/sets/72157602113815014/
