The race course is on a 1-mile loop within Seneca Park’s 297 acres. Originally called North Park, this three-mile preserve of forested river gorge was renamed Seneca (which means “stone”). Another of Frederick Law Olmsted’s works of living art, Seneca Park features Trout Lake which was created by damming a natural spring. Swan boats, propelled by drivers who pedaled the boats like bicycles, carried visitors around the lake until 1922. Seneca Park is located at 2222 St Paul St; Rochester, NY 14621 along the eastern bank of the Genesee River. Race held under a USA Cycling Permit # TBD rain, snow, or shine.
