	+ ------ + ''2017-07-26 05:19:28'' [[nbsp]] I grew up on Dalkeith Road, a stones throw from the entrance to Tryon just over the expressway bridge. We spent many, many weekends running allover that place. Those were great times! We had a toboggan run we called the "Snake" and in the summer it doubled as a bike racetrack. By the way, we wrecked many a sled and bike on those rides!! LOL What a great place it was to grow up around! --["Users/flyerfan56"]

I'm not sure what is part of that and what it not. There is an old brick entrance fence that has fallen over, there is the base of some type of a building, and some other stuff. Random sets of steps all over the place. --["Users/DE"]

- Tryon Park is one of the hidden delights of the city of Rochester. It doesn't receive much press and a lot of people don't even know it exists, which makes it one of the best secluded dog walking or ["hiking"] areas in town. 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]. Usually you'll see only one or two other cars parked there, since the few people who utilize the park often bike or walk in.	+ Tryon Park is one of the hidden delights of the city of Rochester.

- You would never imagine that so much wild space could be tucked away in an area like this. The terrain is beautiful, full of ridges and valleys, and many trails that you could spend hours walking. It's a lot like the hilly part of Ellison Park towards the back. We saw perhaps 10-15 other people while we were there, including joggers, people walking and a couple pairs of mountain bikers(who weren't blazing down trails or riding dangerously, by the way). This seems like a great spot to go for a walk and to bring a dog. We'll definitely be back much more often, as this is one of the best spots to get a taste of the outdoors in the city. My only lament is that you can hear 590 through much of the park, particularly close to the parking lot and that area.

	+ ------ + ''2012-10-12 08:45:19'' [[nbsp]] Despite alex-c's typical inflammatory protestations, the situation is just not that black-and-white. There has been a move afoot to allow mountain biking on specially marked trails in selective County parks - in fact there was an 18-month trial period starting about 2 years ago. (See greif's comment and associated link above) Now the 18-month trial period seems to be over and I have seen no definitive follow-up actions from the County formally allowing or prohibiting mountain biking in these locations. However, if you go to the County Park's web-site cited above for Tryon Park one of the included "Park Activities" is "Off-road Cycling" (which I equate to mountain biking). So, for now, I would think one should feel comfortable mountain biking there - note that it is NOT listed/allowed at Oatka Creek which was the essence of TravisLC's original question. However much it pains me I must agree with the spirit of alex-c's further comment that ALL trail users should use good sense and etiquette at all times. --["Users/jgerek"]

Also, bike tires cause serious erosion. The only reason I can see as to why Tryon is so heavily used by MTB-heads is that it is probably the least used park locally. + FWIW, unleashed dogs are also illegal in all county parks (and completely banned on several trails in Mendon Ponds). Try to respect the wishes of others. Ride on the roads, or else find a quarry or sandpit to get dirty in. --["Users/alex-c"]

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 590; 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. 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.	+ Tryon Park is one of the hidden delights of the city of Rochester.
