The east end of the Trolley Trail, through Victor Municipal Park, is temporarily closed for Park construction.
This footpath is on the bed of the Rochester and Eastern Interurban trolley. It has a surface of small cinder, dirt and grass. It currently consists of three sections, yet to be fully connected. Each has its own personality.
The Trolley Trail begins at The Iron Butterfly parking lot on Main Street Fishers. It uses sidewalks along Main Street Fishers and NY96 to the sidewalk entrance to the Victor Inn – Best Western, and goes through that parking lot to Omnitec Place which it goes along away from NY96.
The Trolley Trail leaves Omnitec Place (between Phillips Rd and NY96). It crosses the Lehigh Trail at the north side of Lehigh Crossing Park. It is primarily through woods, and connects with the park trails. It is missing a bridge across Irondequoit Creek, but there is a temporary foot path only bridge. The section from the bridge to NY251 is through woods and along side a stream which is prime beaver country.
The section from Omnitec Place to the Lehigh Trail was opened in Spring '09.
It has a dirt and grass surface, 2- to 3-feet wide.
Crosses Victor Mendon Rd (251)
Here the Trolley footpath parallels the multi use Auburn Trail. There are several cross links between them. For a while, the Seneca Trail joins the Trolley. This section ends at the Seneca just where it meets the Auburn. It has a dirt and grass surface, 2- to 3-feet wide.
Typical Trolley Trail parallel with Auburn Trail
In this gap in the Trolley Trail, use the Auburn Trail, Rawson RD., and School St.
Here the Village of Victor has improved the trail to hard black top, 8-feet wide. It crosses both Great Brook and the rail road track.
Again this is grass surface, some woods, some open sections, and some meadow. For a while, it parallels Great Brook. It is 3- to 6-feet wide. There can be some puddling after wet weather. Brace Rd. Park is yet to be developed. There is a branch trail with an entrance from East St. Summer '07 – '09: this park is under development and the trail in it is closed.
This is a short spur entrance trail. It is closed for park construction. See above.
We expect the Irondequoit Creek bridge in Lehigh Crossing Park will be built. We hope ultimately have the missing link west of the Village opened. Also, at the east end, a connection from Brace Rd. Park back to the Auburn Trail.
Caution: Elevations are from USGS. They are very precise, but not necessarily accurate. They may be from any place up to 100-feet from the trail!
