Canawaugus Park - Nature preserve in Scottsville - Rochester St, USA

Great park to picnic, walk, enjoy the water or to hop on the trail. Fishing is a thing here too. :)

Great little park that packs a punch. The creek is beautiful and many people swim in it (please be careful of the undertow - it's faster than expected). The trails are connected to the Genesee Valley Greenway and go on for what seems like forever. There's tons of black raspberries and even a black cherry tree down the trail. We pick this park to help clean trash from every I Love My Parks Day and the community that comes out is great.

We went to this place on a whim. We wanted to get out of the city (buffalo) and go to some natural water hole that would be fun and safe for young and big kids alike. I just randomly found the George Bridge online and decided it looked good in pictures with a shallow end and a deeper part with some bridge jumping and a rope swing. (The rope swing is no longer there. We were told by a local that it accidentally came down with his brother last summer. 😂) We went on a Sunday and there were quite a few young adults hanging out on the bridge and jumping in. They seemed friendly enough but there was definitely some drinking going on. The river was right next to a water sanitation building. There was a little steep incline to a tiny rocky beach area where we set up our blankets and the kids went in. We brought some vests for the 3 and 5 year old and a floating chair for the kids to use. We spent a good couple hours there. Past the "George Bridge" on the other side there was a wooden walkway through the woods and into town along with some smaller trails in the woods and a larger/wider trail that went straight back. We were told by one of the locals that it's a 6 mile trail back there. We just explored the wooden walkway and woods a bit before heading home. It was a nice enjoyable day but nothing super special about it. I'd probably give it more like 3.5 stars but it's a whole star grading system. We did see a few people fishing who said they hadn't caught anything all day and at one point there were quite a few younger kids for our little kids to play with. I don't think I'd make the 2+ hour round trip drive to do it again but it was fun. We like getting out and exploring new places.

It was extremely well kept, nice flat and very shady. A real please of a walk!

Another beautiful day in this park!

Great little park adjacent to an adorable village along a big creek. Nice walking trail. Doggy-friendly. Decent parking.

Wow best experience in park ever! Highly recommend <3 jump off bridge, climb the tree and swing like Tarzan :) haha <

This great little park in Scottsville, NY has benches that overlook the Oatka Creek. It is also part of the Genesee Valley Greenway, a 90 mile former railway bed in Monroe, Livingston, and Allegany counties that has been a State Parks multi-use trail since 2011
