Trail is used by bikers, snow mobiles and even horseback riders. Few hilly spots. Excellent paths that are very well maintained. Jogged and rollerbladers a must to visit!

This trail is only slightly uphill from Rochester to Pine Island. At no time did it seem too hard or tiring. It is a beautiful ride through lovely countryside with a great deal of shade.

Summer allows great walk all over Rochester to area towns... Biking, roller blading, walking your dog, etc. Snowmobiles in winter. Nice, shielded by the sun in places, and has some geocash locations along the trail.

I really enjoyed the fact that this trail does not have many hills and overall is at a very flat grade. The trail from Rochester to Pine Island is 13 miles (26 mile round trip).

This was a great trail with plenty to look at and comfortable walking. There is a lot of small wildlife as a bonus.

Beautifully paved bike trail that was built on an old railroad bed. This trail will provide a beautiful ride in the country without getting too far away from the city or working too hard.
