Rochester locals are lucky to have Turning Point Park right on their doorstep. The park is located near Lake Ontario in the Charlotte neighborhood, where if covers over 275 acres along the scenic Genesee River. Many people come to the park to relax on a bench and look out over the scenic river but if you fancy a little exercise you can go hiking/running/biking along a 3.7 mile multi-use trail that follows the river for a distance before crossing over the water along a raised boardwalk bridge. If you continue beyond the Marina you will reach the Genesee Railway Trail which leads north to Ontario Beach Park or south to downtown Rochester.
