Scottsville Area: Lehigh Valley Trail to Scottsville Canawaugus Park or Route 253 – 3.0 or 4.0 miles one-way

Park at the access lot on the east side of River Road, 2.6 miles south of Scottsville near the Casella Transfer Station. Walk about .5 miles east on the Lehigh Valley Trail to the intersection with the Genesee Valley Greenway at the Wadsworth Junction railroad bridge. Read the sign describing the Genesee Valley Canal and its successor railroads that ran on the same line as today’s Greenway Trail. Walk north up the trail about 2.5 miles to Canawaugus Park on Owatka Creek. Still have energy? Add an additional mile to route 253. The trails are mostly flat and well-groomed, though there may be muddy spots after a rain. There is parking for about 6 cars at the Lehigh Trail access point, a large parking lot at Canawaugus and room for 2-3 cars at the route 253 intersection.
