Name: Fall Hike at Genesee Valley Park, ROC
Start: 2024-11-16T12:15:00-05:00
End: 2024-11-16T14:15:00-05:00

Join us for our first hike this weekend at Genesee Valley Park, designed by **Frederick Law Olmsted**.

We’ll hike around and explore near the intersection of the Genesee River, Erie Canal and Red Creek. Many trees still have their leaves so we hope to see lots of beautiful fall vistas as we hike around and traverse a few bridges. This will be a 90 – 120 minute hike with very little elevation change.

***Meet/Parking***
There is a large parking lot that services the Genesee Valley Ice Rink, the Genesee Valley Pool (131 Elmwood Ave. Rochester NY 14611) and the Genesee Waterways Center (149 Elmwood Ave. Rochester NY 14611)
You will pull into the parking lot located at 131 Elmwood Ave. and see immediately on the left an empty outside in ground swimming pool fenced in and a building that houses the Ice Rink. Pull in all the way toward the back of the parking lot, near the Genesee Waterways Center, 149 Elmwood Ave. (Pulling in will also take you closer to the Genesee River).
**We will be meeting in this parking lot at 12:15 PM and plan to start hiking at 12:30 PM.**

***Current forecast*** is mainly sunny with a high of 51F and winds 10-15 mph.
