Our Favorite Rochester Walking Trails

Today is National Walking Day. To celebrate, we’ve put together some of our favorite walking trails around Rochester. Rochester is home to beautiful parks and trails, and we could all use an opportunity to move around and enjoy some fresh air after being cooped up indoors. Take a walk at one of these five locations for a great way to enjoy nature, get some exercise, and explore new areas while practicing social distancing.
