- There are a ton of trails (not all of them obvious) that appear to have been made mostly by the bikers. If you enter and head west you'll hit the marshes and be able to see the bay. Go east and eventually you'll hit civilization again and come across the second entrance. It's possible to wander for a solid hour without seeing much of anything other than trees and creeks, something you can't say about most other parks in the city. There's one particular creek that runs all the way through the park and I still haven't made it to the end yet! The trails are rugged, so bring sturdy shoes and grab a walking stick from the forest. There are lots of craggy hills to climb and glistening rocks to leap over.	+ There are a ton of trails (not all of them obvious) that appear to have been made mostly by the bikers.

There isn't an official entrance or parking lots or picnicking areas, just an old gate with a sign describing the park hours. The park is 82 acres of woods on the edge of the city, with the bay bordering the north. It's mainly accessible from a little side street called Tryon Park of off North Winton Road, but there is also an additional entrance elsewhere in the park. The Tryon Park entrance is on a dead end residential street with parking available on the little bridge that runs over ["Interstate 590" I-590].

There was talk of constructing separate trails systems for bikes and walkers in Tryon park. It would be a shame to see one or both user groups restricted because of a few isolated incidents. --["Users/ErikReinert"]

There are a ton of trails (not all of them obvious) that appear to have been made mostly by the bikers. If you enter and head west you'll hit the marshes and be able to see the bay; go east and eventually you'll hit civilization again. It's possible to wander for a solid hour without seeing much of anything other than trees and creeks. There's one particular creek that runs all the way through the park; try to follow it to the end. I still haven't made it there yet. It's somewhat rugged, so bring sturdy shoes and a walking stick. There are lots of craggy hills to climb and glistening rocks to leap over.

- There's also plenty of weird old litter in the park. I have no idea how half the stuff I see in there even got there. Tractor trailer tire perched atop boulders in the middle of a creek? You tell me. If you see any obvious trash try to take some with you on your way out. It's a beautiful wooded area, but it's gone to sprawl and could use some loving care.	+ There's also plenty of weird old litter in the park.

	+ == About Tryon Park== + + [[Thumbnail(tryon.jpg,right,254, "A map of the area surrounding Tryon Park")]] + [[Thumbnail(tryon-hybrid.jpg,right,254, "A hybrid view of Tryon Park")]] + + Tryon Park is one of the hidden jewels of the city of Rochester. It doesn't have a fancy entrance or parking or picnicing areas. It's woods. 82 acres of woods. In the middle of the city. It's mainly accessible from a little side street called Tryon Park of off North Winton Road. It's a dead end residental street that doesn't look like much. I recommend parking on the little bridge that runs over 490; there's not many other places to park. Usually you'll see only one or two other cars parked there; I think the park primarily attracts mountain bikers and dog walkers.

You might not see another soul. + + [[Comments]]
