Erie Canalway Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This section of the Erie Canalway Trail is flat, paved, and pretty easy biking for all ability levels. Like the majority of the path, you get continuous views of the water and have the opportunity to extend your ride for miles in both directions.

George's Cove

Highlight • River

This cove doesn't sit on the ocean — instead, it's part of the Erie Canal. The trail running alongside the canal is fantastic for cycling, but you'll need to watch out for slower trail users.

This paved-over rail trail runs more than 22 miles along the river. If you bike the whole length you'll see at least three waterfalls in the beautiful Genesee River Gorge, while also passing through eleven parks and across eight pedestrian bridges.

Frederick Douglass Susan B Anthony Bridge

The Greenway sweeps under the triple arch steel bridge as you follow the Genesee River. The Frederick Douglass Susan B Anthony Bridge, also known as the "Anthony Bridge" or "Freddie Sue Bridge" was built in 2007 and is an icon of downtown Rochester.

Pittsford

Highlight • Settlement

The picturesque little village of Pittsford has about 1,300 residents. But it's busier than you might expect, with lots of interesting shops and a thriving "canal district" near the Erie Canal.
