My favorite place to walk or jog!!! So much to see along the River that connects the lakes. Historical placards along the way tell you the history of this original Indian footpath between Seneca and Keuka lakes for trading purposes. white industrialists built water-powered mills on the river - remnants of which remain today. There are 3 waterfalls to see!
It’s mostly flat, we’ll marked and an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours! It’s also popular with cyclists and horses.
