Thursday May 28 - Sandy Bottom Trail near Honeoye (Rochester) - About 3 miles, no elevation gain
We originally set out to find a trail that was supposed to be in a Marine State Park at the southern end of Honeoye lake as shown on Alltrails. Unfortunately, this lovely boat launch is surrounded by private property and while intriguing, we didn't find any boardwalk floating over the lake as shown on their map. But on the way to this we did notice Sandy Bottom Park, just a few miles north on the same road as the Marine State Park. So we went there.
This hike didn't look like much. Certainly no elevation gain, no hills or valleys. But it was very peaceful and calming. The trail we walked goes completely around a very large and at this time of year, very verdant green field. At the back end (farthest from the trailhead) there is a set of two boardwalks that branch off the field trail. These go over a wetland and provide a beautiful stroll over water and swamp vegetation. We were kind of in exercise mode so we didn't linger for a long time but even walked with purpose, this was an impressive facility. We also saw a fox up close which then ran off with freshly caught prey dangling from its mouth.
Pictures from both of us.
